Description
In Timbuktu, you take on the role of a caravan leader, guiding your camels loaded with goods through the desert to the final oasis. The journey is filled with challenges, as thieves attack your caravan at each stop, stealing valuable goods. You'll receive clues about the thefts, but you won't have all the information - you'll need to pay attention to the actions of other players to figure out what's been stolen and how to protect your goods. As you navigate the desert, you'll need to use your hand management skills, memory, and ability to make simultaneous actions to outsmart the thieves and other players. With a playtime of 60 minutes, Timbuktu is a game of deduction and economic strategy that's easy to learn, but challenging to master. Designed by Dirk Henn, this 1993 game is perfect for 3 to 5 players looking for a fun and engaging experience.
