Get your camels ready, because the journey through West Africa is about to begin! In Caravan, you take on the role of a caravan leader in 1300 AD, attempting to meet the growing European demand for precious goods like ivory. The goal is clear: move your camels across the map to collect goods and deliver them to locations where demand is high, accumulating wealth to build structures and dominate regional trade. The board is a vast map divided into four continents and various countries, each featuring a specific type of commodity (eight types in total!). The real challenge lies in time and resource management, as you must balance your routes to maximize profit before other players seize the market. A key complication is the 'robber,' an element working against the players as they attempt to expand their commercial empire. The turn system is dynamic: the first player takes one action, the second takes two, and so on, until everyone reaches four actions per turn. It is a classic strategy game where the efficiency of your transport routes determines who will become the desert's greatest tycoon. If you enjoy logistics games, route management, and the satisfaction of completing a profitable delivery, Caravan will keep you glued to the table. It is a title that blends the simplicity of pick-up and deliver with the depth of needing to plan every step to avoid being outmaneuvered by opponents or desert perils. Prepare your strategy, take good care of your camels, and good luck on the routes!
