Description

Texas, 1933 — a new day dawns for the brave pioneers of the American West, like yourself. Under the burning sand, the black gold awaits for your arrival, so what are you waiting for? Get a government lease in one of the richest oil reservoirs, build towers, drill the resources, trade and invest wisely! Only the most audacious amongst you, using a smart strategy, will be able to surpass your competitors and become a true oil tycoon. In Oilfield, you take the role of an American businessman striving for wealth in the early 1930s, who will try to exploit the rich reservoirs in Texas, trading with natural gas and oil in the most profitable markets. Naturally, you will not be alone as other risky entrepreneurs like yourself will try to obtain riches and wealth with their own investments. The goal of the game is to be the player with the largest number of investments (victory points) at the end of the game. You can perform two actions each round of the game: a public action and a secret action. The number of VP you acquire during the game depends on how wisely you manage these actions.

Euro medio de una hora aprox de duración. Muchas opciones para conseguir puntos y mucha interacción entre jugadores. Fácil de jugar pero con profundidad para tomar decisiones. Las mecanicas muy bien engranadas con el tema. Totalmente recomendado si te gustan los euros de peso y duración media. Deseando jugarlo otra vez.

Played it at the fare in Essen, loved it, bought it. Nice worker placement game with exciting mechanics. Great job, Paco!

8.5/10

One of the best surprises in Essen 2014 was playing a prototype of Oilfield during one evening after the show. Very simple in understanding, interaction with others in each round through secret actions and good offer of the strategic decisions thanks to different ways how to gain points. Very promising!

8.4/10

Great Eurogame with nice theme and mechanics, easy to play, but with a lot of important decisions in an hour. Works really well, very good design. Must have / Gran Eurogame con buen tema y mecánica, fácil de jugar, pero con un montón de decisiones importantes en una hora. Funciona muy bien, muy buen diseño. Un imprescindible. PD: A mi se me hace demasiado corto, quizá un turno más le iría bien.
