About the game
Welcome to the near future. Welcome to Spillover, the first expansion for Peak Oil. Spillover enriches and diversifies Peak Oil by adding variant cards, which change the fundamental rules of the game, and new Demand, Risk, and Security markers. You need the base game to play. The variant cards introduce new ways to play Peak Oil. They're divided into the categories General, Agents, PR, Endgame, and Scoring, depending on the aspect of the game that they affect. In each game, you can use up to one from each of the five categories, allowing for up to 42 millions of different combinations (made up number). The new cardboard markers can be used with or without the variant cards. There are new refineries to ship oil to, new dangers to be found on the shipping routes and new Security markers.

Questions and answers
Peak Oil: Spillover supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Peak Oil: Spillover is 45–75 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Peak Oil: Spillover for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Peak Oil: Spillover belongs to these categories: Economic, Political, and Educational. Its main mechanics are Set Collection, Push Your Luck, and Simulation. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Peak Oil: Spillover are: Heiko Günther and Tobias Gohrbandt. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Peak Oil: Spillover as an expansion for Peak Oil. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Peak Oil to use it. Check that your edition of Peak Oil is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
