<p>About mine movement: can I move from a mine where I am to any other mine in the map? or only to the closest one?</p>

The title of the question is misleading, since the real question is about mines. Maybe it should be reformulated.

There are two different things in Scythe which are related here, Mines and Tunnels.

Mines are buildings you can build, they look like this:

[![Mine wooden icon](https://i.sstatic.net/ixjYX.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/ixjYX.png)

And here's how they work, from [the rulebook](https://app.box.com/s/rj3jrw0rab2uiz02up89kbant5g8ew1p/file/49368403634):

> The Mine acts as a

And then there are Tunnels, they look like this on the map:

[![Scythe board with tunnels](https://i.sstatic.net/Rf1W5.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/Rf1W5.png)

And here's what [the rulebook](https://app.box.com/s/rj3jrw0rab2uiz02up89kbant5g8ew1p/file/49368403634) says about them:

> For the purposes of the Move action for any unit, all
> territories with the tunnel icon are considered to be
> adjacent to each other.

So, in short, you can move:

* From a tunnel to any tunnel
* From a tunnel to *your* mine
* From *your* mine to any tunnel

You cannot use mines built by your opponents for your movement in any way.
