Source of the Nile - digital edition is designed to be an educational and challenging game in which players compete with nature. Luck tends to be a major element in the game but can be overcome by careful play. Because the game situation is forever changing, there is no single best strategy; however, players must weigh risks against gains with every decision they make and good judgment will pay off.

The periphery of this map, showing the territory known ca. 1820, is filled in; the interior is blank and ready to be explored by the player.
