Very accessible and elegant game. Language independent.

Works well with two and more.

Based on one play, plus I won. A neat little game, but just not very exciting to me.

I enjoy this game but don't play much as my boyfriend isn't too keen on abstracts. Plays best for us with 3 or 4 players - more and we tend to limit each other too much. Who can resist the little pastel "candy" camels?This game just looks different than the others in your collection and the camel-shaped pieces seem to appeal more to casual gamers then geometric bits or chits do. While it probably won't be the favorite in your collection, it's definately a good addition!

A very fun and surprisingly tactical area control game. There are several ways to earn VPs, and because of all the player interactions you have to be ready to change plans all the time. Longest camel trains seem to be critical for victory.
