Shifting Sands is a point-to-point movement, card driven game based on the World War II African campaigns of 1940-1943. From the first Italian attempts to cross 'The Wire' through the Torch invasion, all aspects of the campaign for North Africa are covered including the Abyssinian Campaign of 1940-1941. Like the commanders of the day, you'll need to try and achieve your goals while events in other theaters influence your ability to maintain any semblance of a plan.Contents:One mapsheet (approx 22'x32') One 36-page booket with rules, designer notes, and scenarios only 16 pages of actual game rules Two countersheets - one 5/8' and one 5/8' and 1/2' mixed 2 decks of 55 cards - one allied and one axis 2 player aid cards dice[From the site of MMP]Nominee for the 2006 Charles S.
