You and your opponent lead rival caravans across the vast eastern desert, carrying goods between Jacynth and the Valley. Between the sand and the bandits, you just want to be done with it. The goal of the game is to score points, which you can do by collecting cards during the hand and by being the first player to lay down your last cards. Which suits are bonuses or penalties changes from hand to hand. Each hand is played as a series of trade seasons, and the score is tallied up at the end of each hand. The game is inspired by Haggis and other climbing games.
