Why it matters
Designed by Reiner Knizia, *Through the Desert* is a foundational title in the tile-placement genre that introduced many players to the elegant simplicity of abstract strategy games. Collectors prize it for its minimalist mechanics and distinctive plastic camel miniatures, which have remained an iconic aesthetic hallmark of the game since its 1998 debut.
