Game mechanics:
  • Target group
    The game is focused on families and occasional players. Strategic players will be happy with the game "Namibia" that derives from the same competition (
    www.muecke-spiele.de/namibia).
  • Course of the game / suspense curve - dramaturgy  / complexity
    While at the beginning, players try to secure oil stones, later on they try to find the most valuable ones..
  • Gaming time
    approx. 20-30 minutes
  • Game impetus / emotions / psychology
    The game has its joy from the hunt for the most valuable oil stones and the connected memory effect. Each activation of an oil rig includes the tension if the player will find the right oil type. Important also the temporarily change in the game when the oil drums come into play.
  • Basic elements / mechanisms
    Main mechanism is the memory-effect (different oil types under the oil rigs).
  • Strategy & chance
    It is a tactical familiy game, thus the die plays a relevant role.
  • Visual apperance and haptics
    Graphic and material have a perfect connection to the background story.
