ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE There are many patented oil exploration board games, which vary in terms of complexity and degree of interest. A relatively simple, yet interesting oil exploration game, which can be inexpensively produced includes a hollow, rectangular, preferably cardboard casing or box with an open top end, which is normally closed by a panel defining a playing surface, a plurality of contiguous rectangular play areas around the periphery of the playing surface, indicia in each such play area defining (i) a starting point, (ii) various land purchase and drilling options, (iii) rewards and (iv) punishments for landing on an area, a plurality of other rectangular play areas occupying the centre of the playing surface surrounded by the peripheral play areas, a plurality of spaced apart holes in each of the central play areas of the panel, a plurality of multi-level blocks movable on the bottom wall of the casing for indicating successful well locations, a magnet on each of the blocks, magnetically actuated indicator for movement on the playing surface to provide an approximate location of the magnets on the blocks, and consequently of the blocks beneath the playing surface, a simulated oil derrick including a pin for insertion into the holes one at a time, play money for use by the players, a pad of score sheets for keeping score during the course of each game, a plurality of cards setting out various rewards and punishments when a player lands on selected peripheral play areas, markers for placing on the central play areas to indicate ownership thereof, pins for insertion into the holes in the central play areas to indicate that drilling has occurred, counters for marking the progress of a player around the periphery of the playing surface, and a die for determining the extent of each play.
