In Through the Desert, two to five players each control a tribe of nomads vying for control of the desert. By establishing caravans and taking over oases, the players gain points as their tribes increase in power. Strategy is essential in deciding how and where to build your tribe's caravans. There are multiple ways to gain points and several ways to win. Should you try to build the longest caravan? Or should you dominate the desert's oases? Don't forget to keep an eye on your opponents' caravans, or you may find your own tribe cut off from valuable water holes.

Wizardopoly adds: this is a beautiful game with hundreds of pastel coloured camels which look good enough to eat! The rules are simple enough for children to understand, but like all the best games players of any age can enjoy it. Some people draw similarities between Through the Desert and the ancient Chinese strategy game Go .
