Two rivals marshal desert animals to seize control of precious oases and outlast their opponent.

Gameplay

Win oases by playing animal cards into lanes, shifting their positions, and spending palm tokens to change strengths at key moments. The tension is reading what your opponent is setting up and springing your surprises before the round locks in.
