Overview

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. ••• Texas, 1933, un nuevo día amanece para los intrépidos pioneros del oeste americano como tú. Bajo las ardientes arenas del desierto, el oro negro espera pacientemente tu llegada... ¿a qué esperas? ¡Consigue una concesión del gobierno en alguna de las zonas de extracción más ricas, construye torres, extrae el petróleo, comercia e invierte con cabeza! Sólo siendo el más audaz en los negocios y con una inteligente estrategia conseguirás superar a tus competidores y convertirte en un auténtico magnate del petróleo en Oilfield. RESUMEN: En Oilfield, te meterás en la piel de un hombre de negocios de la América de los años 30 que, ávido de riquezas, tratará de explotar los ricos yacimientos de Texas y comercializar el gas y el petróleo de la forma más rentable posible. Por supuesto, no estás solo, otros arriesgados emprendedores tratarán de obtener a la vez que tú, la mayor rentabilidad de sus inversiones. El objetivo es ser el jugador con el mayor número de inversiones (PV) al final de la partida. Tendrás la oportunidad de realizar 2 acciones en cada ronda de juego, una pública y otra privada. Estas acciones incluyen la obtención de concesiones sobre terrenos para explotarlos, la construcción de torres para extraer petróleo y gas, así como ampliaciones de refinerías y almacenes, la venta de los productos a los mercados local y nacional, inversión en el mercado de inversiones, etc. De cómo gestiones estas acciones dependerá la cantidad de inversiones (puntos de victoria) que consigas.
