Description

In the Sultanate of Naqala, the old sultan has died and control is up for grabs. As a stranger in this fabled land, you must maneuver the Five Tribes to gain influence and fulfill an ancient prophecy. Designed by Bruno Cathala, Five Tribes is a game of strategy and cunning, where players must cleverly displace tribes of Assassins, Elders, Builders, Merchants, and Viziers across the modular board. With a playtime of 40 to 80 minutes, Five Tribes is a game that's easy to learn but challenging to master. The rules are straightforward, but devising a winning strategy requires careful consideration of each move and its potential consequences. With multiple pathways to victory, including the summoning of powerful Djinns, players must weigh their options carefully to outmaneuver their opponents and claim control of the Sultanate.
