I have just recently playing the game "Oligarchy". Oligarchy is a game where you are the CEO of a major oil company whose goal is to deplete the world of all of it's oil deposits by deploying oil wells. There are certain rules, strategies, risks, and goals when it comes to playing this game. It is essential that you keep the oil shareholders in the stock market happy or else you might just get the pink slip (You get fired basically). One of the other rules is that you must try to keep up with the rising demand of oil to be able to make profits, which keeps shareholders happy and fattens up your wallet. Remember that in a game, there are always risks to take. Certain places in the world have very delicate habitats and drilling there may cause unwanted attention from the press or the government. drilling in protected places like Alaska and Argentina would certainly cause people to protest in the drilling areas, stop workers from drilling and even burning down oil wells. in some places, the local government offers assistance against the protestors by means of terrorizing them, hanging them and deploying guards to protect your oil wells. while this may protect your valuable oil deposits, it creates controversy in Washington and causes politicians to pass laws hurting your drilling business.

Strategy is important when it comes to succeeding in Oligarchy. You have to know what places to drill at, how many oil wells you should use, and how much money you should use when it comes for election time are all examples of what you should keep in mind while playing. You may want to drill in certain areas because they possess more oil or because you don't to attack the environment. Some places you can drill at and they have a lot of oil, but you attract a lot of attention from the world for threatening the environment, so it pays to know where you want to drill. every 4-8 years (every turn is considered one year) the U.S hosts the presidential election. if you want to, you could give money to the republican, democratic or both parties to help them win the election. the smart thing to do is to give more money to the winning party and some money to the other one, just incase. If you give enough money to the winning party, you can corrupt politicians and even the president himself to support every oil-friendly law. In order to be a good CEO, one must set a few goals for him/herself to follow. try to corrupt as many politicians as possible and make sure to silence the voices of the environmentalists. Try to get the government to allow you access to certain places like Iraq and Alaska by greasing them up enough

When you add up all of these concepts, or elements of the game, they create the basic guidelines of what the player has to follow. All of them are listed in the beginning of the game for the player to read, but you also learn them from experience. when you use all of the elements of the game together, you achieve the main goal. Speaking of main goals, the main goal of Oligarchy is to drill the world bare of it's oil and keep the shareholders happy too. I like this game because it's addicting to play, but would other people think the same? It's a very fun game and what I like so much about it is that you can play it multiple times and you wont get tired of playing it. At least that's the vibes I get from it. Oligarchy also has a little bit of humor in it. When you're in Iraq and you put your mouse over one of the people, a text bubble comes up saying, "terrorist?". It's a good game overall and I like it
