Description: Review by Mike Siggins. "A very simple game that is saved (just) by having to work out interesting tactics".
This is Ravensburger's flagship game for 1990 and comes in a large box which contains components to top even the little gems we have seen over the last few years. The game's topic is camel caravans carrying silk through the desert between trading posts. An interesting theme, and offering plenty of scope for sumptuous production. The components include plastic Ali-Baba pots, plastic water gourds, glossy cardboard silk counters, neat moulded camel pieces and a lovely board showing the desert trade route to be negotiated. The graphics (lots of little camels and turbaned types) are unusual and rather stylised giving an impressive overall impact. If anything, this one is way over-produced for what it is. Nevertheless, with components of this quality I'm not complaining too much and if I were ever lucky enough to get a game published, I would choose this artist to do the graphics. Ahhh, steady down Mike, remember we are reviewing the game here, not just the production.
