[Image: Der Bergbau, courtesy of the British Museum; view larger].Der Bergbau is a beautiful 19th-century German board game set in a mine, currently in the collection of the British Museum. They describe it as a "game-board showing a cross-section of a mine and the network of tunnels leading down from 6 buildings, along the tunnels, various numbers which represent ore."
The rules are not given, unfortunately, but the board itself is a gorgeous image in its own right, worth viewing in full.

Wrong analogy. Not Minecraft but Dig Dug. Ciao,
An anonymous commenter without access to HTML formatting points out that you can see a fragment of the game's rules at the British Museum.
