“Accident. Rig shuts down while replacement of key personnel takes place. Miss one turn.” “Fire breaks out. Pay $2,500,000 for repairs.” “Hit High-Pressure Gas—Rig Damaged. Specialists called in.” “Blow-Out! Rig Damaged. Repairs cost $2,000,000” “Drill pipe breaks. Pay $500,000 for replacement.” “Strike High Pressure Gas. Platform Destroyed.” “Blow-Out! Rig Damaged. Oil Slick Clean-Up costs. Pay $1,000,000.” Dig these amazing, somewhat eery photos of BP’s Offshore Oil Strike board game over at BLDGBLOG. Unfortunately, my eBay searches turned up empty.
