Why We Love It: A Timeless Classic

Through The Desert receives the Allplay treatment, celebrating its status as a beloved classic among tabletop enthusiasts worldwide. Decades of refinement and play-testing have solidified its reputation as a timeless gem. Plus, our revamped camel miniatures add a delightful touch to the gameplay experience.

Each Turn Is Important

In Through The Desert, every decision counts. With only two camel placements per turn, strategic choices determine whether you secure coveted watering holes, block opponents, or claim expansive territories. Adaptability and foresight are key as gameplay evolves dynamically with each move.

Multiple Scoring Strategies

Set on a randomly seeded board, Through The Desert encourages diverse playstyles and rewards creativity. As the landscape shifts, new scoring opportunities emerge while others vanish, mirroring the ebb and flow of desert life. The game challenges you to seize opportunities swiftly and adjust strategies on the fly.

Tempo, Tempo, Tempo

Maintaining tempo is crucial in Through The Desert. Early-game opportunities abound, but as the board fills, strategic options dwindle. Players must balance immediate gains with long-term plans, navigating a shifting landscape where timing is everything.

Build Your Caravan

Strategically link your camels to establish extensive routes connecting watering holes and oases, accumulating points and securing territory. Through The Desert offers a deeply satisfying experience of strategic depth and spatial planning.
