Cerro Gordo Silver Mines: Build the Boomtown at home

Cerro Gordo Silver Mines, is a game based on the iconic youtube channel @ghosttownliving, and the true story of the mining town from the 1860s that extracted enough silver to build Los Angeles.

In this game, you will co-build Cerro Gordo in its heyday, with individual and shared objectives. You'll be receiving silver as you dig further into the mine, and use that silver to build the town in your vision.

Watch out as catastrophic events can set you back, and you may cross paths with other characters that have their own agendas. 

Can you complete all your objectives and gain the most silver, to win the game?
