Oasis
_Oasis_ is a strategy/puzzle game depicting the journey of an Egyptian prince
to unite the fragmented kingdoms of his father’s domain. Players explore the
sorcerous fog that has descended on these kingdoms, uniting lost cities to
fend off barbarian hordes.
Searching the kingdom uses a mechanic similar to Minesweeper, but with the
difference that there are no harmful clicks. Each click removes fog from one
space and reveals some information about what may be found in nearby spaces.
Alternatively, once the player has removed enough fog to reveal useful terrain
features, they may use a turn to instead build roads between cities, search
them for hidden treasures, or take other actions to prepare for the barbarian
hordes.
When the player runs out of turns, the barbarians arrive (from where?) and
attack. The player will have ten seconds to move people to the nearest city
(if the player built the right roads!) and then it’s out of your hands.
Victory depends on having made the right preparations. So while every click on
the map is good, they may not all be equally good for your current situation.
The full version of the game includes the _Pharaoh’s Challenge_ , a selection
of campaign games each telling a different story, and each using different
variant rules on the basic game.
