Oil Barons

2–6 players · 120 min · 14+

Oil Barons is a board game based on buying and selling in the oil industry.

On a player's turn, the player rolls 2d6, with doubles giving you extra turns. When you land on a square you get options to change your position on the board, such as buying/selling oil wells or opening/closing oil pipelines.

The winner is the first player to deliver a specified number of oil barrels to the Refinery, usually 15 or 25.
