Argentum 1001 Caravan - Board game

By the light of the campfire, the caravan leaders enjoy sharing tales of their adventures late into the night. They speak of cities in the heart of the desert, hidden oases, and flying carpets. Of course, an experienced caravan leader keeps the exact locations of such places to themselves, but those who can read the desert will learn enough to find them. And a freed genie from its bottle can reshape the desert at any time to the player's advantage—or to the disadvantage of another.

Players traverse the desert with their caravans in search of these legendary locations—without having to share their discoveries with others. Only when they utilize a location, such as trading in a desert city, do the other players learn the approximate whereabouts of that place. The goal is to bring home three magical artifacts, which can either be found in the desert or purchased for a lot of gold as a successful trader.

When equipping a caravan, knowledge of the desert is an enormous advantage. The capacity of a caravan is limited, and those who know where to find an oasis or a caravanserai when needed can transport more goods. And there is plenty of gold for trade goods in the desert cities.
