Oil Rock

Oil Rock: Build Your Oil Empire!

In Oil Rock, you take the helm of a rapidly expanding oil company determined to dominate the market. This strategy and worker-placement game challenges you to optimize every link in the chain, from drilling to refining. Time your moves on the stock wheel, expand your influence across the map, build drilling platforms, upgrade your turbines, and improve your refineries. The oil market is ruthless: only those who can adapt will become oil tycoons!

How to Play Oil Rock?

You play as a character represented by a Notebook: as you advance along the Progress Track, you turn its pages to unlock increasingly powerful versions, with new abilities and higher earnings. A game consists of 4 rounds of 6 phases:

• Income: Collect the amount shown on the visible page of your Logbook.
• Actions: Take turns placing a worker (Secretary or Manager) on the Wheel and immediately perform the indicated action.
• Extraction: Receive barrels based on the depth reached by each of your three wells, one per type of oil.
• Refining: Spend your barrels to activate your refineries and earn resources, patents, progress, and victory points.
• Objectives: Score the points for the objective displayed on the central board.
• End of Round: The Wheel advances one notch, and the turn order is reset in reverse order of the positions on the Progress Track.
