Players first draw from a pool of tiles and then try to construct a Casbah (Arabian house) according to the rules and tiles. Each square tile shows internal doors or windows or garden, so only internal doors can meet, whereas windows can face onto the street for example. Crude graphics do evoke the desert village and players can make the game more or less difficult as they like.
