In this game full of surprises, you will embark on a dangerous adventure, leading your caravan through the uncharted territories. At every step you will face lurking evil creatures, traps, and ancient magic. Plan your moves carefully, protect your amber, expand your retinue, and try to reach the destination as quick as possible.
In this game you must take care of your escort, amber, and power cards — all while keeping an eye on your opponents. During course of the game, you will encounter monsters, ghost, deadly traps, thieves, and other sorts of evil. All encounters are resolved via dice, but each is resolved in a different way. On your turn, you must choose one of the following actions:

Whatever you do, keep a lookout for your opponents don't sleep; they just wait to stab you. You must remember one thing: Be quick or be dead in your quest for amber. Good luck!
