Full publisher description

Four modular expansions tweak the classic gameplay of Through The Desert with fun twists without diluting the elegant nature of the gameplay. Add one for a slight change, or bring out all four for experienced players looking for a challenge! Rival Nomads: Based on a deck of Nomad cards, players will embark on a mysterious journey as they reveal specific and intriguing scoring conditions that challenge them to adapt their strategies quickly. Djinns: Visiting oases awakens mischievous djinns, who use their magic to make crossing the desert more difficult. Special Watering Holes: Take a camel piece so you can place an extra piece. In a game where the turns are so tight, this extra pace is crucial! Trading is a way of life in the desert. Buying a commercial good is worthless, but finding someone to trade with while having a pair? That's ten points! Bazaars: Form valuable trade routes from desert bazaars to distant villages.
