Five Tribes

Five Tribes is another board game I enjoy. In Five Tribes the board is made up of 30 titles that are randomized into a five tile by six tile board so that it is a different board every time. The goal of the game is to have the most points at the end of the game. In Five Tribes there is five different kinds of meeples (little wooden pieces shaped like humans) that represent and do different things. The red meeples are the assassins and with them you can kill another meeple. The blue meeples are the builders and they give you money depending on how many blue tiles they're is nearby. The green meeples are the merchants that allow you to get resources. The white meeples are the elders that allow you to get genies and the yellow meeples are the viziers that just give you points. There are many ways to get points. One way to get points is money tokens that translate directly to points. Another way is yellow meeples which give you one point for every one you have as well as ten points for every person you have more then. A third way to get points is emptying a tile by killing the last meeple there or finishing your turn and collecting on the meeples on that tile. When you do this you get the amount of points it says on the tile. Genies give you points directly by the number on their card and indirectly with the powers they have. Resources give you points for the amount of unique resources you have. Five Tribes is very complicated and has a lot more to it and I would not recommend it to the beginner. I would however recommend it to somebody that has played a few board games and who enjoys complicated strategy. Because I do Five Tribes has become my favorite board game to play.
