About 3 Magi, from BoardGameGeek:

Embark on an enchanting adventure in 3 Magi, a captivating game that follows the three wise men on their legendary trek across the desert to meet the newborn King. 3 Magi offers a unique gaming experience, weaving together elements of resource management, worker placement, card hand management and crafting. Immerse yourself in the timeless narrative of the 3 Magi as they seek Jesus the King. Players assume the roles of the Magi. Manage resources, skillfully craft gifts, navigate the terrain with the help of the navigation board and encounter characters that may aid the Magi's mission. As the Magi, players must gather and combine resources to craft gifts for the King, each worth victory points. Players travel across desert tiles, entering iconic locations such as “Jericho", "Jerusalem", "Herod's Palace" and "Bethlehem". The tiles have unique actions allowing players to choose a particular route and resolve actions. Use the navigation board for bonuses & extra actions. Manage & combine your cards on hand to further your Magi in the game. Once a caravan makes it to Bethlehem, the fame ends and points are totaled. The player with the most points wins. -description from the publisher
