Crude: The Oil Game, also marketed under the title McMulti, is an economic simulation board game originally published by St. Laurent Games in 1974 and designed by James J. St. Laurent. It puts players in charge of small oil companies competing in an international petroleum market, buying and selling crude, drilling new wells, refining output, and selling finished gasoline to consumers, with a player winning once their company reaches 750 million dollars in corporate value. A revised edition was published by Stronghold Games in 2012, alongside European editions from Hexagames and Pegasus Games, updating the original's economic model while keeping its central theme of building a multinational oil enterprise from a modest starting position through drilling, refining and market speculation.
