My 9 year old and I played this and loved it! When you have a game that is all about helping others to be the winner...it's a win, win. Even after oiling for years, I learned many new uses for the oils. Can't wait to play again with friends and share in my oils classes!

Many new Oilers feel overwhelmed with so much to learn. So glad that Nichols have created a fun game to learn. Whether you are playing by yourself or with friends, you'll quickly learn that you've got an "oil for that."P.S.

Great
My kids and I enjoyed this game. It is a nice change to bring the family together rather than having a game on cellphone/ app that you play alone without much face to face interaction.

What is the game about?
I Have An Oil For That is a 1 to 6 player essential oils board game that helps players learn about the benefits and uses of botanical oils. The object is to eliminate your own Problem Cards, and gain Heart Tokens by helping other players eliminate their Problem Cards.
A cooperative and competitive game.
We wanted to make a game that creates an environment of helping others while being competitive at the same time. So we created the heart token scoring system as a way to achieve that. Players can only get heart tokens by helping other players. The player with the most heart tokens and no problem cards at the end of the game wins. However, everyone benefits because the game will not end until everyone is problem free.

I Have An Oil For That Game Instructions & Components:
- Starting the Game
Shuffle both the PROBLEM Card and HELP Card decks.
Place the decks face down on one set of the HELP and PROBLEM board spaces as shown above. The other two HELP and PROBLEM spaces will be for discarded cards. Place all discarded cards face up.
Each player will pick a different color player avatar game piece and place it at the bottom of the game board within the big heart labeled “START.”
Each player will draw 3 Problem Cards and place them face up and visible to the other players. Then, roll one die to determine who plays first.
Roll one die and advance clockwise around the board.
As the player lands on "P" spaces, they draw one Problem Card to add to their hand. If they player has a Help Card available for that Problem Card, it can be used to eliminate it. As they land on "H" spaces, they draw one Help Card that may eliminate one of their own Problem Cards for that turn. When a player has a Help Card that will eliminate a Problem Card, they say, "I have an oil for that" then they name the oil and the problem. If no cards can be eliminated, the player must keep the drawn c ards and pass their turn to the next player. The Help Card can be used to discard only one Problem Card per turn.
See example to the right. >>>>>>
The only time a player may help another is when they land on a Heart Space. The player that lands on the Hearts Space can use one of their available Help Cards to eliminate one Problem Card from another player's hand. Both cards are then discarded and one Heart Token is awarded to the player who used their Help Card.
Occasionally a player may land on a Star space or a Question Mark space. See “Game Landing-Space Icons” for an explanation of these spaces.
Play continues around the outer ring until a player has no more Problem Cards and has reached START at least one time. Once a player has met these conditions, they will place their game piece on the red heart labeled, PROBLEM-FREE ZONE. Players who pass START with Problem Cards remaining in their hand must continue on around the outer ring until they no longer have Problem Cards and have reached START again.
Once players enter the Problem-Free Zone, they will never enter the outer ring again. All cards drawn will be Help Cards. Landing on a Heart space gives the player an extra opportunity to help another player and win a Heart Token.
In the Problem-Free Zone, players keep rolling with one die and advance through the middle ring clockwise until the game ends. - Winning and Losing the Game
When all players have no more Problem Cards, the game ends. The player with the most Heart Tokens wins the game. If players have the same amount of heart tokens, then the player with the most Help Cards win.

Help Cards
Problem Cards
A player holding a “Cedarwood” Help Card lands on a “P” space and draws a “Cough” Problem Card. They see that “Cedarwood” may be used for “Cough”. They then remove both cards from their hand and place them on the HELP and PROBLEM discard spaces on the game board. Turn now passes to the next player. This can work the opposite way as well, by a player landing on a “H” space and drawing a “Cedarwood” Help Card, then use it to eliminate the “Cough” Problem Card held in that player’s hand.
Game Landing-space Icons

Question Space - Random chance. Spin the spinner wheel that comes with the game board one time. After the spinner stops follow the instructions on the wheel section.
