Board game Through the Desert - Strategy

Through the Desert – a strategic adventure in the sands

Through the Desert is one of the most iconic games by the world-renowned designer Reiner Knizia. In this tense abstract strategy game, 2 to 5 players take control of nomadic tribes competing for supremacy in the harsh desert.

Lead five caravans of different colours and guide them across the Sahara in search of water and control of territories. Skilfully place camels to extend each of your five caravans while blocking your opponents. Earn points by visiting wells and oases, and fence in territories to own the largest caravan.

Key features:

• Building routes: Create long caravans of 5 different colours of camels to reach valuable oases and wells.
• Territorial control: Enclose areas of the desert with your camels to join them to your territory and earn bonus points.
• Interactivity: The game is highly contested – the space fills up quickly, and every decision you make can block your opponents' plans.
• Updated edition from Allplay: This version includes a double-sided game board (with a "night" side), a modernised component design and a compact box.
