1901: Welcome to Spindletop Hill, birthplace of the modern oil industry. The first oil deposits have just been discovered and all adventurers are flocking to Texas to find their fortune. But the deposits are limited. Who will tactically build their derricks in the best places and extract the black gold in the most profitable order?

Even the box is like a treasure chest. The lid is opened with curiosity: is the content overwhelming at first glance or is a diamond in the rough waiting for me that only unfolds its sparkle in the game? Is it already fun to look at the different materials, pick them up and let them slide through your fingers?

In this development game for 2-4 people, which lasts only 20 minutes in the basic version, the players try to secure points for themselves in the form of oil stones that they have found. With their oil companies, the players first place drilling rigs and trucks in the claims they have rolled and try to find oil in their vicinity
