Karawane is a board game published by Ravensburger in 1990, placing players in charge of camel caravans crossing a desert trade route toward a shared destination. The game belongs to the family-oriented tradition Ravensburger built its reputation on through the late twentieth century, favoring accessible rules and a strong visual theme over the deep tactical complexity found in dedicated hobbyist wargames of the same era. Players advance their caravans across the board while contending with the movements and choices of their rivals, giving the game a race-style structure in which reaching the goal ahead of the other camel trains is the central objective. Documentation of the title in English-language sources is limited, reflecting its release primarily for the German and wider European board game market of the early 1990s rather than a title aimed at international hobby distribution from the outset, and later research may recover additional detail on its designer, exact player count and specific rule mechanics.
