Water is scarce. Points are even scarcer.
Through The Desert shines in how tight the gameplay can be. At the beginning of the game, the map looks wide open. But, as turns progress, it becomes harder and harder to score points. There’s a “knife-fight-in-a-phone-booth” nature to the gameplay that reveals itself towards the end.
