About

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.

FEATURES:
* This game enables you to follow the great 19th century explorers in their search for the source of the Nile.
* Terrain, native tribes and other discoveries are semi-randomly determined, with allowance made for previous discoveries in adjacent hexagons.
* Meet and deal with native tribes.
* Discover mountains, jungles, deserts and great lakes in the uncharted heart of the Dark Continent.
* Survive animal attacks, disease and starvation.
* Overcome superstition, desertion and disaster.
* The game features 452 blank hexagons ready to be explored.
