About this product

Cross a forgotten desert, deliver precious goods and help life return to the sand.

Travel across the desert on your Worm, deliver goods between towns, earn gold and bring hope back to a world covered in sand.

Product Description

Sand is a pick-up-and-deliver strategy board game set in a vast desert where the old world has been forgotten and only scattered communities remain.

Players become desert travelers crossing the board on the backs of faithful Worms. You visit towns, collect goods, transport them to new locations and earn gold for successful deliveries. Along the way, you care for your Worm, take on missions, gain companions, improve your journey and help small plants reach distant corners of the desert.

The player with the most money at the end of the game wins.
