The game board shows the desert surroundings of Ghawar with marked places for the oil rigs.

Aim and setup

Aim of the game is to produce oil via the oil rigs. AT the beginning, the plattforms are set on the marked places of the map. Then on each of them an oil stones is placed, which represents an available oil well. Each player receives five oil rigs and a truck. The train are used for the winning point track.

Scoring phase

The game consists of two phases. First, with two dices the oil rigs are placed on the boards, where they hide the oil stones on the plattform. The players should pay attention to where which oil type is hidden - prices for the different types change during the game.

In the next phase, the players move their truck according to the number of he die. If they happen to stand aside an oil rig, they can produce the oil under the rig. They receive points according to the price on the point chart - however, this changes with each production. Used oil rigs can be moved further.
