Description:

Five Tribes is a logistics puzzle, an action selection and a point salad game. Players have to compete to become the next Sultan.

The game takes place in the land of Naqala and you have to maneuver the five tribes to get the most influence over the the Sultanate: various villages, markets, oases and sacred places.

The tribes are respresented by meeples in 5 different colors and they can be moved using a mechanic similar like in the game Mancala.

Each tribe has a special ability that will give you some sort of power when used and some of the 30 tiles will grant you the ability to evok a special Djinn.

The game ends when there are no legal moves to make or when a player owns 8 different city tiles. The player who gained most victory points is the winner.

Setup

If this is the first play, punch out all the pieces from the game's punchboards. Rather than discarding the empty frames, insert them under the vacuum tray inside your game box. This will help your tray stay flush with your game's box top, preventing pieces inside from spilling over when storing your game. …



They Say That In The Very Heart Of The Mountains Of The Sultanate Of Naqala, There Lives A Tribe That Rarely Appears In The Bazaars And Markets In Town.

The Sultanate of Naqala continues to flourish. This time of prosperity has attracted more competitors than grains of sand in the desert, so if you expect to remain on top, you'll have to learn some new tricks... especially since the Sultan founded 5 new fabulous cities that everyone wants to control.

I've also heard that the Sultan sometimes holds hearings in those cities, offering huge rewards to those who grant him his whims. Are you up for the challenge?

With "Whims of the Sultan", up to 5 players can now vie to control the 5 fabulous cities and work to satisfy the Sultan's requirements. This expansion can be played with the base game alone or along with "The Artisans of Naqala" expansion. …
