A simple board game, similar to Sorry! or Parchisi. Movement takes place with a roll of the dice.
The game comes in two phases. First, players progress through "Desert Shield", in which they collect cards that can later be used to defeat threats. Second, they move to "Desert Storm", in which they use their cards to overcome obstacles on the board. When a player reaches the middle of the board, they have won the game and liberated Kuwait.
If you encounter an obstacle that there is no card for, then you must restart Desert Storm. If this happens three times in a row, then Desert Shield must be repeated as well. There are also locations on the board that will send you back to the start.
