A huge sandstorm has split up the nomadic tribes of the Gobi Desert! As caravan drivers, your task is now to help the nomads reunite with each other. They will be very thankful and bestow you with gifts and blessings for your troubles... Gobi is a slick game of tile-laying and route building. Set yourself up for grand moves and win it all! In turn, players place a tile, then place camels on adjacent tiles. Each tile contains a tribe name. Once a route of camels connects two tiles with the same name, the player chooses a gift, gaining victory points and a power to use later in the game. A route of five or more camels gives access to coffee, a special gift. The game ends when all the tiles have been played.
