Timbuktu

All caravans want to go to Timbuktu to convert salt, coffee, gold, pepper, and especially water to riches and fame! Of course, the way through the desert is perilous and only the best will make it safely. And those too timid will fail as well. Good luck!

The richly laden caravans travel through the Sahara to Timbuktu. It is thirsty work in the burning sun and the next oasis cannot come soon enough for the caravan drivers. But there are thieves hiding in the oasis, ready to lighten the players' loads.

Each player must engage in a Sudoku-like analysis of the clues he is given to determine which pitches in the new oasis will be struck by thieves and which will be safe places for him to rest his camels. As the round progresses, you gain more information about where the thieves will be.

The object of the game is to be the trader left with the most value in goods when you reach Timbuktu.
