Family Pastimes Sahara Search - An Award Winning Co-Operative Game(Multicolor)

We are archaeologists digging for treasures in the hot desert. We have four areas to dig and must work together to unearth as many valuable treasures as we can. Sometimes we have to make deals with property owners to gain access to promising dig areas. The game ends when our camel train is full of 15 high value treasures, a few low value ones and hopefully no collections of worthless junk. Includes: 24 dig area cards, 12 action cards, 1 camel transport train, rules.Designer's note: "No pretending. This is a game for bright children and adults who enjoy using their minds." - JimPlay as friends, not as enemies! Family Pastimes games foster the spirit of cooperation. Players help each other climb a mountain, make a community, complete a space exploration... They never play against each other. After all, the initial impulse to play a game is social; that is, we bring out a game because we want to do something together. How ironic then that in most games, we spend all our efforts trying to bankrupt someone, destroy their armies - in other words, to get rid of one another!At Family Pastimes we believe that people of different ages and abilities should be able to play side by side, each making their best contribution. We are all there together when we finish the game to take joy in our successes and wonder how we might work together even better the next time we play. Thus, Family Pastimes games will prove to be a friendly form of fun. Socialization, entertainment, academic learning, character growth, etc. - whatever your objectives, we invite you to realize them by cooperative means. We hope you enjoy playing and learning together!
