Description
King Oil is a classic board game that's all about striking it rich in the oil industry. With a unique board that changes every time you play, thanks to three randomizing discs, you'll need to adapt your strategy to come out on top. The goal is simple: buy properties, drill for oil, and collect royalties to become the richest player. As you drill for oil, you'll encounter event cards that can either help or hinder your progress. And with the ability to build pipelines to siphon royalties from other players, the game can get pretty cutthroat. With a playtime of just 60 minutes, King Oil is a quick and exciting game that's perfect for 2 to 4 players. Easy to learn but challenging to master, it's a game that's been delighting players since 1974. Will you be the last one standing, or will you go bankrupt trying?
