Review: A modern classic strategy game - Reiner Knizia at his best. A modern strategy classic.
Review: 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.
