Change of pace game that belongs in your collection
No resource gathering, no victory track, no dice... just a clean, no fuss race to cut off your competition and let them languish in the desert! Perfect. Seriously, i love to teach people this game because it roles out so easily...would you put these palm trees together? These are five points. This is your leader. Yeah, that's a camel, alright. Could you separate these camels don't worry you get to play with any color you choose. They are hooked. Then the game just happens. It unfolds logically, with a few rules along the way. On the reverse side of the board there is added night play with a river for extended playability. Plays 2 to 5. I think age 8 and above is appropriate, but not a kiddie game adults will enjoy it. This game is like a starter at a restaurant that is better than the main. Or maybe like the path less taken amoung more dense games. Sorbet to ice cream...I can go on, but I won't. Really, It's a cool change of pace game that belongs in your collection.

Great game!
I've been playing board games for 10+ years now. I play everything from heavy euro (including 18xx) to light and party (i even play classics). This is a lovely game that I'd call medium-weight in terms of concentration & strategy. It's also a bit smaller than many typical boxed games so it's easier to travel around with. The one major drawback is the colour scheme - it can be difficult to see if your eyes aren't those of a falcon's. highly recommend for avid gamers!

Intuitive and easy to learn strategy game
Great and fun strategy game for 2 people. Easy to learn and easy to replay. The box itself isn't huge so it would be a great gift. The design of the pieces are high quality and the instructions are easy to follow. It doesn't take too long to play it. Overall I really liked playing this!
