The Spill

Deep in the ocean something has gone badly wrong. Oil rig DeepWell•4 has cracked open and crude oil is pouring into the sea at high speed. You are the rescue team that has to stop it, because the animals in the water and the whole ecosystem are in great danger. Every minute counts, so there is no time to lose. In The Spill you work together completely. You sail around the rig to hold back the oil, take droplets out of the water and rescue sea animals. The special part is the dice tower in the middle of the board: it represents the oil rig and drops oil dice at random onto the four sides of the playing area. Think of it as a reversed tower defence game, where you push the oil back instead of keeping enemies out. Before you start, you decide together which resources you bring along. Weather dice throw a spanner in the works with limited movement, extra oil or more expensive actions. Every turn new oil arrives, and it keeps building up. Only with good discussion and real teamwork will you reach all three goals before the bag of dice is empty. The whole world is watching. The future of the coast is in your hands.
