Sand by Devir | Strategy Board Game for 1-4 Players (Ages 14+)

Experience a Desert Adventure

In Sand by Devir, the vast desert holds stories of a long-lost era. Travelers cross sun-scorched dunes, carrying goods on the backs of caterpillars, hoping to earn gold while helping the land regain a touch of life. The setting spans from the foothills of the Akaishi Mountains to the sheer cliffs of Seaclaw, where half-ruined cities shelter the last green pockets and the people who tend them. Humidity is the scarce resource that fuels survival and trade, offering a glimmer of hope amid the endless sands.

The goal is simple in form but rich in choice: succeed through intelligent logistics and thoughtful timing across six rounds (five rounds in a four-player game). Players balance speed, cargo value, and mission timing, aiming to maximize their earnings as they guide their caravans toward distant towns and hidden opportunities.

• Pick-up-and-deliver play that rewards careful planning and flexible routes.
• Transport varied goods and score by delivering them to the right destinations.
• Grow your faithful caterpillars as you invest in better movement and task completion.
• Take on missions and team up with fellow travelers to unlock added benefits.
• Companions appear along the journey, offering helpful abilities at key moments.
• Enjoy fast escalation from city stops to remote edges of the desert, with escalating rewards.

How the Desert Comes to Life

Sand blends strategic depth with a thematic journey. You will explore ancient cities, navigate tricky landscapes, and balance the tension between short-term gains and long-term goals. The tactile feel of loading goods, the visual appeal of map spaces, and the onboard decision points invite multiple play styles—from competitive rounds to thoughtful solo sessions.

• Solo or group play supports a flexible gaming experience for at-home or travel sessions.
• Each session runs around 120 minutes, with shorter play possible in four-player mode.
• The artwork by Ernest Sala conveys a warm, sun-drenched atmosphere that enhances immersion.
• With six rounds, missions, and companions, no two games unfold the same way.

Whether you are a strategy enthusiast, a fan of thematic world-building, or the kind of player who enjoys social, pick-up-and-deliver challenges, Sand offers a thoughtful desert journey. It invites you to consider how small plants from controlled greenhouses might take root again and what it means to move life across a sea of sand. The experience is designed to be accessible yet richly strategic, offering possibilities rather than guarantees.
