| DESCRIPTION
All caravans want to go to Timbuktu to convert salt, coffee, gold, pepper, and
especially water to riches and fame! Of course, the way through the desert is
perilous and only the best will make it safely. And those too timid will fail as
well. Good luck!
The richly laden caravans travel through the Sahara to Timbuktu. It is thirsty
work in the burning sun and the next oasis cannot come soon enough for the
caravan drivers. But there are thieves hiding in the oasis, ready to lighten the
players' loads.
Each player must engage in a Sudoku-like analysis of the clues he is given to
determine which pitches in the new oasis will be struck by thieves and which
will be safe places for him to rest his camels. As the round progresses, you
gain more information about where the thieves will be.
The object of the game is to be the trader left with the most value in goods
when you reach Timbuktu. |
