A new threat lurks in the land of Arzium. Ember zombies swarm from volcanic lands to the north—their charcoal bodies the walking hives of malicious fire fairies. The closest haven is the city of Eastrey (eest-ray), where a powerful artifact protects the inhabitants. You must travel across the desert and the plains, over mountains and through red canyons, helping wandering creatures of every shape and size to the safety of the city.

In Creature Caravan, players assemble a card tableau of creatures while traveling through a magnificent and dangerous land. Players take turns simultaneously, placing dice on actions on their cards and player boards, moving their caravan across the map toward Eastrey, and adding new creature cards to their caravan.
