From award-winning game designer Reiner Knizia comes a game of strategy, patience, and amazing plastic camels! The desert remains treacherous, mysterious, and unforgiving. But for those willing to brave the dangers of the quicksand and scorching sands, the desert holds unparalleled riches. In Through the Desert, players control nomadic tribes vying for dominance of the desert. By establishing caravans and conquering oases, players earn points as their tribes grow more powerful. Strategy is key to deciding how and where to build your tribe's caravans. There are various ways to score points and many ways to win. Should you try to build the longest caravan? Or should you dominate the desert oases? Don't forget to keep an eye on your opponents' caravans, or your tribe could become isolated from valuable water sources.
