You and your friends are in the desert looking for oil. You will have 15 rounds to place wells to find as much oil possible. For each round, click on or type in the location where you want to drill and submit your answer.
At the start of the each round, you will see how much oil you have as well as how much oil other players have. The amount of oil you get for drilling will be indicated by a colored square where you drilled (cool colors are low points, hot colors are high points), as well as the height and color of a bar on the left side of the screen. You can also mouse over the bar or the colored square to see exactly how much oil (and therefore how many points) that spot gave you.
Other people will be playing the game at the same time as you. You will occasionally be able to see where other players have drilled and how much oil they got for drilling in those locations. Likewise, other players will be able to see where you drilled and how much oil you got.
If you drill in the same spot as someone else you will receive the same amount of oil, even if it is on the same round. In other words, oil is not divided by the number of people drilling in the same spot. In fact, you can copy someone's success by clicking on their bar on the left.
You will have 15 rounds to drill.
Each round will last 30 seconds, except the first round which will last 90 seconds.
The game will move to the next round once every player has drilled or the time is up. If the time passes before you choose a place to drill, you will get no points for that round, which will be seen as an empty bar with a red "X" in the middle.
