Days of Wonder Press Release - Five Tribes, Stay Ahead of the Pack
From the Days of Wonder Website
Five Tribes is back in stores!
To celebrate, Bruno Cathala came up with a nugget: “The Guilds’ Guide ”
The rules of Five Tribes are simple, but each turn offers many possibilities: one will probably need a few games to master all the subtleties of moves and the various tribes’ actions. It’s indeed quite common to feel a little overwhelmed by the numerous choices facing a player in the initial turns of a first game. To give new players a leg up, Bruno Cathala wrote a little Tactics Guide which, even if it does not include any secret recipe to victory, will help them begin to make good decisions.
