From BoardGameGeek

Since time immemorial, a continuous flow of caravans, loaded with riches, have crossed the desert. Khiva, a small setting in the heart of the desert, welcomes the most savvy merchants to acquire tremendous wealth. Welcome to Khiva! In Khiva, you play the role of a merchant and you try to attract the richest caravans thanks to a system whose sensations are reminiscent of tug of war. Bags of salt, luxurious carpets and teapots, so many riches to collect throughout the game to achieve your objective. Once setup is complete, 5 cards are dealt to each player. These cards will allow you to move a camel. Players place in front of them 1 face down card that they will play for this turn AND a card that they pass to their neighbor on the left for subsequent turns. Players reveal their card simultaneously. Each player moves the camel of the color they played in the direction of their Path. If 2 players have played a card of the same color, the one who played the lowest value moves the camel and collects the indicated wealth. The other player receives 1 gem as compensation. The played cards are put aside but still visible to everyone. The further we go, the more information we will have about the cards still present in the game. The game ends as soon as one of the resources is exhausted. The winner is the one who has accumulated the most riches. -description from the publisher
