Timbuktu – legendary town in Mali; destination of numerous trading caravans, all laden with valuable wares.

On their way through the Sahara, the caravans travel from oasis to oasis, always in search of a save place to rest for the night. However, the peace is deceptive for thieves are lying in wait at the oasis with an eye on the valuable goods.

As caravan leader, you must be shrewd in using the tips you are given to get as many of your wares as possible to Timbuktu.
