The expansion for Bruno Cathala’s “worker displacement” game (see “'Five Tribes' Big Box Board Game”) introduces a new tribe to the game, the Artisans from the mountains of the Sultanate of Naqala. The Artisans are represented by purple Meeples, and their presence adds a new layer of strategy to the game. They can craft magic or precious items: some worth Victory Points, some which unlock special powers. They also bring new tiles (workshops, specialized markets, impassible chasm) and new Djinns to the game.
The box contains: 15 Wooden Tribe Meeples, 6 new Tiles (Workshops, Specialized Markets, and Chasm), 4 Tents, 4 Djinn cards (2 new & 2 revised), 6 Mountains, 18 Item Markers, 1 New Scoring Pad, 4 Summary Sheets and a rule booklet. As an expansion, it requires the base game to play. The game is for 2-4 players, ages 13 and up, and plays in 40-80 minutes. MSRP is $25.00.Asmodee acquired Days of Wonder last summer (see “Asmodee Acquires Days of Wonder”) and operates DoW as a subsidiary game studio.
