As I mentioned in the Commentary, this game was put on hold for a 
while. If my games lack anything, its play testing. I think this was 
my second game designed for the piecepack, and to be honest, I don't 
know how much playtesting on CQ I have done. Choosy Sushi also had 
this problem. I did not own a 'real' piecepack at the time I created 
either. Also, I could never arrange times for other people to play 
test my games. Thankfuly, as was mentioned previously, this won't be 
a problem with the solitaires. 2 of them are based off of classic 
games, therefore I predict the problems will be few.

Thank you for your comments, and I will work to edit them in the 
near future. Perhaps the following changes should be made;

1.Players start with one artifact on their camel.

2.One artifact per tile(on any space in that tile), leaving the four 
corner tiles open for a starting space for the travelers.

I wanted the game to convey a epic journey for relics and artifacts, 
I think this game has a good result to that end.

Incidently, I originally called 'travelers' traders. I think I 
nipped that logistic problem in the bud.
