Wadi has won the Saarländischer Spielepreis 2008!
Wadi (published by Emma Games) is situated in the heat and drought of the ancient Egypt desert. Water is scarce and you try to build your Shadoof (a sort of waterpump) as close to the Wadi as possible. A wadi, however, is a desert river. Water flows though it for only a small part of the year. The rest of the time it is dry. In the short wet period, you try to pump as much water as possible to the water reservoirs. Preferably in the vicinity of fertile land, because the more fertile the land, the better the harvest. And the better the harvest, the more points a player earns.
But... other players might have noticed the same good spot, where you want to build your shadoof. And when you build your shadoof there, they won't help you fill the water reservoirs. But if you hesitate too long, the other players might pump dry the Wadi. Or worse, the water streams down the wadi and the land close to your shadoof remain dry and barren.
You can play the game with 2 to 4 people. It usually does not take longer than half an hour and the game rules are fairly simple. There are a few scenarios for Wadi delivered with the game. They bring a lot of variety. Of course you can build your own scenario or download new ones from this website. Wadi can be played loosely, but also more strategically. In short, Wadi is a game with a lot of possibillities for different kinds of players.
