Welcome to Season 3 of reading rulebooks! It’s my Oops all Knizia season!
Reading Rulebooks is a podcast dedicated to reading through rulebooks and teaching games! In this podcast, I directly read the rulebook as well as discuss the game and try to clear up potential areas of confusion.
Check out the Game section of MCG for more episodes of the Reading Rulebooks Podcast, or check out the MCG YouTube Channel for Videos!
This week we are going to cover the rules for Through the Desert. Through the Desert is a game designed by Reiner Knizia and is illustrated by John Gravato, Atha Kanaani, Damien Mammoliti, Scott Nicely, et. al.. The game is published by KOSMOS.
Through the Desert is a part of the Knizia Tile-Laying Trilogy (Samurai, Through the Desert, Tigris and Euphrates).
About Through the Desert
Using camels to make caravan routes through the desert and try to reach the oasis while cutting off other players’ access, because no one wants to share their resources.
