Description
TUAW Review: "Serious board game fans have been anxiously waiting for this app ever since it was announced and I'm happy to say that this latest Reiner Knizia port to the digital realm is totally worth the wait."
Through the Desert is one of the best known games by legendary board game designer Dr. Reiner Knizia. In this masterpiece of the light strategy genre, up to four players compete for control over the desert.
The game is quick to learn and relies on very simple rules. At the same time, it has an enormous depth - similar to board game classics like Go and Reversi.
Through the Desert fits excellently on an iPad, allowing up to four players to play on the same device. If you need additional challenges, the game also includes artificial intelligence players and allows you to challenge your friends over the net.

Customer Reviews
addictive!
A very fun IOS adaptation of the board game! This game is easy to learn a hard to master. Suprisingly deep and very addictive!
Pretty good
This app definitely needs an undo feature. It's much too easy to place a camel in an unintended location. The camels should be offset and not directly under your finger when you place them. See Samurai for superior board game implementation.
Great game, so so controls
Love the game, but the controls aren't great. It's hard to tell where you are placing the camels, and I can't tell which color camel I'm using. Sometimes you press one color but end up with another.
