ABOUT THE GAME
Before I run out of footing,
Decide your career path.
``Karawan'' is a short strategy story about a caravan traveling through a collapsing world. Spend food, traverse terrain, gather, mine, gather allies, and choose routes turn after turn until you lead your brigade to the portal.
FIRST RECRUIT
Pay for food,
Increase the number of collecting hands.
Starting resources are 20 food, 6 wood, and 0 ore. Each time you select a formation and advance to an adjacent square, the amount of food decreases by 1, and in a village you can add a farmer's cart to your brigade by paying 2 food and 2 wood. Choosing to increase the number of people will simultaneously change the next collection method and remaining resources.

Movement cost remains on screen
Click on the formation and select the adjacent space outlined in white to advance one turn. Each time you move, your food supply decreases by 1, and the edge of the land collapses into space behind you, so both the amount of resources remaining and the terrain left behind play a role in your path selection.
The cart determines the brigade's work.
The official hint is to arrange carts corresponding to three resources: food, wood, and ore, and manually assign tasks to adjacent areas. Depending on the type of cart you add to your brigade, the gathering and mining you can do at your destination will change.
Multiple Paths and Magus Magic
The official page explains that there are multiple paths to the portal, and that if you hire Magus, you can use magic that can change the world. Routes, carts, and magic determine how you respond to crumbling terrain.
Decide which resources to keep,
Select the route to the portal.
