Description
Era of Tribes: Beliefs and Betrayals throws you and up to five friends into a whirlwind of secret alliances, back‑stabbing deals and ancient intrigue, all in a breezy 50‑minute game that even newcomers can pick up in a few minutes. Designed by Arne Lorenz and Arvid Askmar Cederholm, this 2025 expansion builds on the core Era of Tribes experience, adding a juicy mix of bribery, negotiation and traitor mechanics that keep everyone guessing who’s really on your side. You’ll place workers to grow your tribe, spy on rivals, and whisper promises of gold or divine favor—just enough to sway a fickle ally or seal a treacherous pact. Whether you’re playing solo or with a full crew of six, the simple rules let the drama do the heavy lifting, turning each turn into a tense dance of faith, power and double‑crosses. Perfect for fans of ancient‑to‑medieval wargames who love a good slice of civilization‑spice with a side of secret agents.
