Giganten
Grab the best drilling sites, then outbid three rivals for the only contracts on the market.
Who it's for
Groups who like economic games with real opponent-reading and a clear arc from investment to payoff. Shines with four players.
Not for you if…
You dislike being left out of a round entirely through no fault of your own, or you want an evenly paced game. At three players the tension around the third contract mostly disappears, and ninety minutes is long for the depth on offer.
Vibe's take
Calculating and a bit tense: the truck race is fast, the hidden bidding round is where hearts sink.

About this game
Texas oil rush: players race trucks across a drilling field, sink wells and then fight over the three sales contracts on the market. With four players, one is always shut out of a deal. A tight economic game about timing and hidden money.
