## Description
Imagine a world where greenery is a distant memory and sand dominates everything. In Sand, you step into the shoes of a daring traveler crossing relentless deserts to try and bring a spark of life back to this desolate land. But don't be fooled: while there is a noble purpose in transporting plants from greenhouses to remote corners, your main goal is to line your pockets with gold!

The gameplay revolves around managing your journey on the backs of faithful caterpillars. Yes, you read that right! These creatures aren't just companions; they are your engine of locomotion, and if you take good care of them, they will grow and make your tasks much more efficient. The game utilizes an action point system and point-to-point movement, where you must wisely decide how to spend your resources to fulfill contracts and collect sets of goods.

As the rounds progress, you can invest in tech tracks to improve your capabilities and even find companions to make your life easier. Between dice rolls that set the pace and the need to manage what you carry, Sand offers a 'pick-up and deliver' experience with a very interesting strategic layer. It is a game of logistics with a soul, where every decision about which route to take or which contract to accept can be the difference between prosperity or getting lost in the dunes. Get your caterpillars ready and safe travels!
