Tribes is a strategic board game designed for players aged 14 and up, accommodating 4 to 8 participants. Players establish their own laws and societal structures, shaping the development of their tribes. Multiple copies of the game can be combined with a referee to enable interactions between tribes, including competition, trade, member exchanges, and conflict. This edition includes reusable Character Cards and Birth Records, along with a dry-erase marker for tracking changes. The game features boards for monitoring years, resources, and offspring, as well as colored tokens representing Food, Grain, Baskets, and Spears. All components are stored in a durable box. Fans of large-scale multiplayer games such as Terraforming Mars or the original Civilization may appreciate Tribes for its focus on pre-civilization dynamics and player-driven social evolution.
