La Traversée du Désert (French)

Each player attempts to score the most points by winding caravan routes through the desert, trying to reach oases, and blocking off sections of the desert. Many people think it's reminiscent of Go.

Description of thePublisher

From award-winning game designer Reiner Knizia comes a game of Strategy, patience and cool plastic camels! The desert is always dangerous, mysterious and merciless. But for those willing to risk the dangers of shifting, sun-baked sands, the desert holds incomparable riches.

In Through the Desert, two to five players each control a tribe of nomads fighting for control of the desert. By establishing caravans and taking control of oases, players earn points as their tribes increase in power.

The Strategy is essential when deciding how and where to build your tribe's caravans. There are several ways to earn points and several ways to win. Should you try to build the longest caravan? Or should you dominate the desert oases? Remember to keep an eye out for your opponents' caravans, or you might find your own tribe cut off from precious watering holes.

Through the Desert is part of the tile laying trilogy called Knizia.
