Black Gold review
Black Gold is a reimplementation of Giganten, with some interesting additions. It's a game about drilling for oil, transporting it to market, and then selling it at auction. The game is quick to learn, but there's a lot of strategy involved. The auction system is the most important part of the game, and it can be pretty intense. If you're not good at auctions, you'll probably lose. However, if you enjoy auctions, you'll probably love this game. The game is best with 4 players, but it's still fun with 2-5 players. The only real downside is the art, which is a little drab. If the art was better, I would give this game a 4 out of 5 stars. Overall, it's a good game, but it's not for everyone.
