Rival desert tribes build camel caravans to claim oases and fence off valuable stretches of sand for points.

Gameplay

Place camels on the hex map to extend your caravans, connect to oases, and surround regions to score the most points. The squeeze is constant as every placement can open space for you or permanently cut off an opponent.
