The Spill (Board Game)

Offshore rig, DeepWell 4, has blown out and the rupture is spilling crude oilinto the ocean at an alarming rate! Your response team must work together, usingyour individual talents to avert an ecological disaster, one which threatens tocontaminate marine life and devastate the ecosystem. The situation is dire andescalating by the minute, so there is no time to waste.

1. Contain the oil flowing from the rig
2. Remove what oil you can from the waters
3. Rescue the marine animals

The world is watching. The fate of the coast is in your hands!

This fully cooperative game, for 1–4 players, features a 4-way dice toweras the oil rig, which randomly drops oil dice onto the four quadrants of thegame board. In this respect, the game is a reverse tower defense game, asplayers sail the perimeter trying to push back and contain the oil, remove dicefrom the water and save the sea life.

Communal resource cards are chosen by the team before the game begins and arethen powered for use by either removing 3 oil dice from the game or saving afull set of 6 marine creatures.

Weather dice complicate matters adding new challenges for the round thatrestrict movement, drop more dice or increase the cost of operations.

It takes coordination and teamwork to win, as new oil dice are dropped at thebeginning of every turn and the number of oil dice dropped increases over thecourse of the game.

If the team can accomplish all three objectives on their WIN Condition cardand remedy any potential losing conditions on the board by the end of a giventurn – they win. Otherwise the game will end when the 60 dice from the bagare exhausted or they are unable to correct one of the three losingconditions.

Contain the oil. Save the sea life.
