About this game
The year is 1960, and the world is on the brink of an energy revolution. The discovery of vast oil reserves in the Middle East is changing the global economic landscape, creating unprecedented wealth and opportunity. Nations rise, corporations battle for dominance, and fortunes are made overnight. Will you seize the moment and build a financial empire, or will you be left behind as others strike it rich?
Money is never enough
In this era of rapid transformation, money is more than just a currency: it’s power. Take control of financial markets and wield a variety of investment tools to build your fortune. Trade in:
Stocks – Invest in emerging oil giants before they take over the world.
Bonds & State Bonds – Secure lucrative government contracts and finance infrastructure projects
Commodities – Buy and sell crude oil, gold, wheat and other valuable resources driving the global economy.
Real Estate – Capitalize on booming Middle Eastern cities as wealth floods the region.
Take Over Corporations – Control Industries
Investing isn’t just about buying and selling assets—you can take control of entire companies! Acquire businesses, set corporate strategies, and dictate their future. Will you build a financial empire through innovation, or will you crush your competition through hostile takeovers? Your leadership and decision-making skills will determine your success.
High-Stakes Special Operations – Shape the Market
To dominate the industry, you must play the game at the highest level. Execute powerful financial moves, including:
Mergers & Acquisitions – Absorb competitors and control global supply chains.
Private and Public Stock Offerings – Raise capital without losing control of your empire.
One well-timed move can shift the balance of power—but one mistake can cost you everything.
Exploit Global Tax Systems & Political Instability
The Middle East oil boom isn’t just about business—it’s about navigating the complex political and economic landscape. With multiple nations vying for control, you must take advantage of shifting tax laws, negotiate with governments, and deal with geopolitical tensions.
Avoid nationalization of your assets by forging the right alliances.
Deal with the government to continue doing business in the nation.
Shift profits offshore to maximize earnings and minimize taxation.
A sharp mind and a keen understanding of international politics will determine your fate.
Invest in Booming Sectors – Predict the Future
The Middle East isn’t just about oil. As wealth pours into the region, other industries explode in value. Invest in multiple sectors as:
Oil Drilling & Refineries
Construction & Real Estate
Shipping & Logistics
Tourism
Defense
And so many others
The Market Awaits – Will You Rise to Power?
The 1960s oil boom is your chance to build an empire that will stand the test of time. But wealth and power come with risks—governments may seize your assets, rivals may sabotage your operations, and markets can crash in an instant. Can you navigate these challenges and emerge as the most powerful tycoon of the era?
The future is in your hands. The Middle East is rich with opportunity. Will you claim your share?
