Days of Wonder Five Tribes the Djinns of Naqala Board Game

Product Information

Let’s be honest though. That expression is prevalent in this hobby. None of us need another game for example, but we will definitely end up buying more for sure. Don’t lie to yourself. You know you will! Once you have dropped off the Meeples, you then take all Meeples of the same colour as the one you dropped on the final tile from that tile. You will have at least two of the same colour. If you do not the move was not valid. Five Tribes is a two to four player game, designed by Bruno Cathala and published by Days of Wonder. Wanting to bid high in future turns to make sure you play rst for the rest of the game, you decide to sell all your Merchandise now. You collect 30 Gold Coins for your rst suit of Resource cards + another 7 for the 3 Resources you had in duplicate. The Fakirs can't be sold. You can then get into the main part of your turn - moving Meeples. Choose a tile with Meeples on it. Take them all into your hand. Then, drop each Meeple off on an adjacent tile until you run out of Meeples.

Play continues until a player places their last camel, or there are no legal moves left. Scores are then tallied with gold coins and yellow and white meeples being worth points, and additional points available for palm trees, players with fewer meeples than you, Djinns, palaces, and controlled tiles. Merchandise is also sold off and that gold is added to the final points. The player with the most points wins. [2] Expansions [ edit ]

Still, we understood that this very precise element was preventing some people from fully enjoying Five Tribes. As a publisher, we thought it was important to offer the same joyful game experience to everyone. That is why slave cards have been replaced by fakir cards in the new reprint of the game. While the name and illustration are different, the purpose of the card in the game remain the same. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy these new fakirs, as they will be precious allies to summon powerful djinns and help your builders and assassins in completing their more or less noble tasks. The player takes control of the Tile by placing his last Camel and finishes his actions as normal; the game ends once ALL players have had a chance to take their actions for this turn too. The game then ends and final scores are computed. No More Legal Meeples Movement Is Possible: Note: During your moves, you can pass through Tiles already controlled by others or yourself (dropping 1 Meeple on each as you pass through). If, as part of these moves, you end up nishing your move on, and emptying, a Tile already under the control of a player from all of its Meeples again, the control of that Tile doesn't change: it remains under the control of its previous owner. Once a player's Camel sits on a Tile, that Tile will never change ownership. 2.4 Tribes Actions Another massive bonus of Five Tribes is that it works just as well with two players as with three or four. There’s a couple of differences to the gameplay – such as getting two turns each round – however, if anything these open up new possibilities and improve the overall experience.

Each player takes eight camels and one turn-marker. (If there are just two players, each one takes eleven camels and two turn-markers.) Then everyone gets fifty gold coins. You should keep your gold so that other players don’t know how much you have.

Game Components

Each round of Five Tribes is divided into three parts – the bidding phase, the player action phase and clean-up. Bidding phase Mix all 30 Tiles and place them randomly face up, to form a rectangle of 5 x6 Tiles: This is the Sultanate 3. Oliver wants to play early this turn, but he doesn't want to pay too much: he remembers Gold Coins are worth Victory Points at the end of the game. So he decides to go for spot marked "3", paying 3 gold to the bank and placing his Turn marker there. What’s more, it’s great to play, play and play again. There are many ways to earn Victory Points meaning you can try multiple different strategies. And, with the tiles laid out randomly each game, it mixes things up nicely to keep it fresh.
