A vast desert stretches beyond the horizon, hiding the ruins of a forgotten civilisation beneath endless dunes. In Sand, a route building strategy board game, you become a daring traveller crossing this harsh landscape on the back of a growing caterpillar that is transporting goods between struggling towns while building a fortune along the way.
 
Travel between settlements to collect cargo, deliver valuable wares, complete courier work and then earn gold for every successful journey. Your caterpillar is more than transportation. Care for it properly well to help it grow stronger to unlock greater efficiency as your desert expedition develops.
 
Life in the desert is not only about making money. Recruit useful companions, accept missions, carry young plants from artificial greenhouses and then help restore patches of greenery across the barren landscape. Every journey can contribute to the revival of the desert while also advancing your own plans.
 
Your actions are powered through a flexible token system that gives you access to different dice, letting you activate a range of abilities during your travels. Plan your routes carefully, manage your resources, then choose when to prioritise profit or support the return of life to the wilderness.
 
With route building, pick-up-and-deliver gameplay along with resource management, Sand offers a substantial strategy experience for solo players or groups of up to four. Across six rounds, or five in a four-player game, your aim is to finish with the greatest fortune.
