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.
