Source of the Nile Digital Edition is the officially licensed, single-player digital adaptation of the classic 1978 exploration board game created by Ross Maker and David Wesely. A challenging game of discovery on a hex-grid map of Africa, where the player competes against nature to survive.
Description
Source of the Nile - digital edition is designed to be an educational and challenging game in which players compete with nature. Luck tends to be a major element in the game but can be overcome by careful play. Because the game situation is forever changing, there is no single best strategy; however, players must weigh risks against gains with every decision they make and good judgment will pay off.
The game is played on a hexagon-grid map showing Africa from Khartoum to Capetown and Lagos to Mombasa. The periphery of this map, showing the territory known ca. 1820, is filled in; the interior is blank and ready to be explored by the player.
