Mine a Million (aka The Business Game) is a board game previously published by Waddingtons. The game is named after the economic business of mining tin and gaining profit by transporting this to markets near and far. The 'million' bit of the name relates to the target profit.
The game is set in a developing country where transport economy is vital. In this country therefore the 'Minister for Transport' has decreed that all transport must travel fully loaded. This brings in the concept of subcontracting.

Famous quotes containing the word million:
“Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
