Description Desert
It's not easy being a camel driver: not only do you have to survive a 40-mile trek across the Gobi Desert , with only a camel and a quart of water, but you and your trusty steed have (somehow) managed to piss off a tribe of knee-jerk pygmies, who are now snapping at your heels. All in all, you seem to be in a bind.
Your canteen holds six gulps of water, unless you find a way to refill it. Each turn, you choose a course of action: take a drink; move forward moderately, or at full speed (which makes your camel work harder); rest for the night; check your status; or give up and wait for help. You will have to watch your water supply, your camel's health, and your distance from the pursuing pygmies. To top it off, the wasteland is full of surprises: some are good (like the occasional oasis), others not so good (sandstorms and roving bands of nomads, who may try to capture you for ransom).
