The best way to recognize the power of mines is not to pay attention to the money they yield, but to the small sections mines will almost always be in. 1 tile sections completed round 1 have the largest pt/dice possible, irrespective of what the tile being placed is. So with mimes, since also most adventageous early, are double dipping quite a bit. 7 bonus pts for easy completion is pretty awesome too.That said, it might be tricky to get more than 2 early, being somethimg aggressively pursued by most players.
