Gobi is a slick game of tile-laying and route building. Set yourself up for grand moves and win it all!

In turn, players place a tile, then place camels on adjacent tiles. Each tile contains a tribe name. Once a route of camels connects two tiles with the same name, the player chooses a gift, gaining victory points and a power to use later in the game. A route of five or more camels gives access to coffee, a special gift. The game ends when all the tiles have been played.
