The rulebook lists 48 Area cards, with light and dark backs. These eight exact-second-edition examples were photographed individually by designer Kris Ardianto:

Each Area card chooses the area for your turn and grants its pictured workers and shares; some cards also show oil drops used for final points and final-round order. A refinery icon can be used during action F to empty a partly filled refinery, after which that card is removed from play. These are eight examples out of 48, not a full face inventory. Check the physical card if an icon or quantity is unclear.

Tiles

Wildcatter disks are auctioned when a field is drilled. The rulebook also supplies Consolidation chips for each continent; their face-up values score 2, 4, 7, and 10 points. Setup stacks each continent’s chips with the lowest value on top.

Tokens & pieces

BGG captions this 2018 photo “Shares (2nd Edition) - Capstone Games.” It provides a partial overview of the share-card and token families; the photograph is not used to transcribe printed values.

The rulebook lists one game board; 48 Area cards; 240 share cards; 80 share tokens; one round marker; 16 Wildcatter disks; 60 worker cards; 20 worker tokens; four Player sequence chips; 16 Consolidation chips; and, for each player color, one summary card, 10 rigs, 11 pumpjacks, eight trains, four tankers, five refineries, one VP marker, 36 oil barrels, and one Refinery chip. Two-player games also use D2 and D3 chips. Consult the setup and Corporation rules for which colored pieces are set aside.

Icons

Area cards use worker, share, oil-drop, and refinery symbols. Use the card overview above as a visual key; verify any unreadable detail against the physical card.

Each player has a summary card. The pictured board on the Teach page shows the board areas and components. Exact individual Area-card face values are not enumerated here because the source overview is too small for a reliable full transcription.
