This game was originally published back in 1998, and was "Recommended" by the Spiel des Jahres committee during the same year. It also printed in 2017 by Z-Man Games (see "'Through the Desert'") as a new edition with updated artwork, upgraded components, and a new box. The new printing adds brand-new components to offer players a more value.
Through the Desert supports two to five players, ages 11 and up, and takes about 45 minutes to play. It will retail for $39.99.
