The Oilman Game (1994)

About this game

From the box: A game that captures the true to life excitement and drama, success, and failures of the international oil magnate. Using the unique 3 dimensional board, oil companies bid for leases world wide, drill for oil, and erect oil wells. The object... to become the most successful oil company in the world. The amazing game board design ensures the game will never be played the same way twice. For two or more players or teams.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
