Description provided by Room and Board on YouTube:
Do you like Economic Action Selection games with a dash of bribery and a smidge of war? We take a look at Peak Oil Profiteer, on Kickstarter now for a Fantastic price.
Stick around, we break down the rules and everything you'd want to know. It's great, and you should check it out!
FULL DISCLOSURE : While 2Tomatoes never asked for this video, or said they'd give me compensation for this video, I believe they're gifting me a final copy of the game because I gave them a quote on their KS page and a rating. If that doesn't happen I still intend to back it, and if it does happen I'll most likely pay for the other Peak Oil game to still support the project.

About Peak Oil: Profiteer, from BoardGameGeek:
Peak Oil Profiteer is a standalone board game set in the Peak Oil universe. As the top executive of an oil corporation, you are sent to a war-torn nation that's got a lot of oil - and no one who can help sell it! That's where you come in: Your task is to make the most cash before corruption ruins the land.
This card-driven tactical game features area control, simultaneous action selection, and a healthy dose of player interaction. Progressing in rounds, players improve their workforce by investing in powerful consultants and vie for influence over the nation's three warring factions. As control of the oil fields passes between the hands of the so-called "government", the "National Liberation Front", and the noble "Guerilla Militia" you have to ensure you're in the right place at the right time with the right faction leader in your pocket.
Double guess your competitors, blackmail politicians, and sell weapons to whoever needs them to ensure you keep the oil - and money - flowing in your direction. Remember, your sole goal is to make the most profit before corruption destroys this sorry region.
