Five Tribes (EN)

Five Tribes takes you to the legendary Sultanate of Naqala, where the throne stands empty and power is up for grabs. The board is set with meeples already in place, and players must move them using a mancala-style system to trigger powerful actions. Strategic bidding determines turn order, while players compete for territory, resources and the favor of ancient djinns. Every move matters, and each decision can dramatically shift the balance of power. Five Tribes is a strategy game, an expert-level game, and a territory control game celebrated for its depth, interaction and replayability.

You will enjoy Five Tribes if you love deep strategy games with constant player interaction, meaningful decisions and multiple paths to victory.

Five Tribes has received numerous international awards, including the prestigious As d’Or Game of the Year. It is widely regarded as a modern classic thanks to its innovative use of meeple movement mechanics.

Five Tribes was designed by Bruno Cathala and illustrated by Clément Masson. The game is published by Days of Wonder, known for high-quality board game productions.
