In Vaca Muerta, the players take the role of energy companies which must decide where to invest. The workers are represented by dice and can be used to work in the field, build factories, convince the media, etc. Different generation systems (nuclear, hydroelectrical, coal, etc.) produce different amounts of money, corruption, and environmental damage. The game includes a double point system, one for money and the other for corruption. At the end of the game, the player with the most corruption is out, and the winner is who has more money.
