About this game

In the 13th century, emperor Kublai Khan - successor to the legendary Chenghis Khan - reigned over East Asia. In those times, a competition was held annually, the purpose of which was to find out who was the cleverest and best camel driver in the realm. Karawane is for 3-5 players who are involved in a camel race. The object is to bid a limited supply of water chips each round to move your camel across the land to make it to certain oasis spots. Players collect goods (silk) and the player who gets the most goods at the end of 3 legs of the desert race wins.
