And to think I was enjoying warm thoughts about Denmark only yesterday- I was watching 'Pelle The Conqueror' again.
We have been here before- I used to work with someone who collected board games, and he said this was quite valuable :
In Crude: The Oil Game, players take on the role of oil company CEOs, seeking to expand their companies into multi-national energy mega-corporations. Just as with real world energy companies, player will setup facilities for oil drilling, oil pumping, oil refining into gasoline, and gasoline selling to the consumer... all of which are represented by actual plastic pieces placed on the board! Players also speculate by buying and selling oil and gasoline barrels in both the domestic and foreign markets... again represented by actual plastic barrels in their playing area!
Did you ever play 'Game Of Nation', BlackCat ?
Contents: Playing board, 4 sets of playing pieces (2 kings, 2 politicians, 1 dictator, 1 guerrilla and 1 secret agent), 16 tankers, 12 pipelines, currency and a pack of 16 "international incident" cards.
This game has relatively little luck and a high strategy content. It is a somewhat abstracted geopolitical simulation of superpowers' war of influence in the Middle East --the goal being the control of oil supplies, of course.
The map shows 8 fictitious Middle Eastern oil producing countries, one of which controls the Canal that links both ocean sides. If your superpower is on one ocean and you try to obtain oil from a country bordering on the other ocean, the Canal becomes of vital strategic importance. The alternative is to connect that country to another on the "correct" side of the board (through the land-locked middle countries, which are also bigger producers) with a series of pipelines. To move oil and to build things you must, of course, have a friendly leader in place at the head of that country...Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

What's the gameplay like?
They probably are just reusing the same game engine and giving us a standalone mod release.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment
