Title:
Wildcatters (2nd Edition)
Description:
Be part of the booming business of the 19th century oil industry!
This turbulent era was dominated by resourceful adventurers who dared to take great risks in their quest for oil. These Wildcatters have changed the course of history with their daring discoveries and achievements. Now it is your turn to follow in their footsteps and claim the leading role in the world of steam locomotives, iron oil tankers, and vast oil fields.
Over the course of the game, players represent oil barons operating around the globe to develop oil fields; bid for oil rights; and build rigs, oil tankers, trains, and refineries -- all in an effort to deliver more oil than anyone else.
Wildcatters is a tactical and strategic board game set during the booming business of the 19th century oil industry!
The players are oil barons who develop oil fields; bid for oil rights; and build rigs, oil tankers, trains, and refineries. Your goal is to deliver more oil barrels to the continents than the other players while also collecting more shares and money than them.
The game lasts seven rounds with four players, and the game set-up is the same for each player, with three rigs, two trains, one tanker and one refinery being placed on the board. The game board features a world map divided into eight areas where you can find oil. Players choose an open area card and get money to build rigs, tankers, trains and refineries, after which they can buy oil actions. The players work together in an oilfield to find oil at a lower cost. The players transport oil together to the refineries, using trains and tankers from other players to deliver oil to the refineries – and all with one purpose: deliver more oil than the other players by the end of the game.
NOTE: the 2nd edition has some rules changes, particularly around end game scoring.
AWARDS & HONORS:
2013 The Golden Elephant Award Finalist.
