Days of Wonder plans to release Five Tribes: The Thieves of Naqala, a mini-expansion for Bruno Cathala’s (7 Wonders:  Duel, Cyclades) award-winning board game, in August.

The Thieves of Naqala adds a new layer of intrigue to the game.  Players can now hire special Thief characters in an attempt to undermine the efforts of their opponents.  Thieves are less powerful than the Djinn in the game, but they are also immune to effects that target Djinn.

This tiny expansion set includes only seven cards—six thieves and one new Djinn.  As an expansion, it requires the base game to play.  MSRP is $6.00.

An earlier expansion, The Artisans of Naqala, was released last summer (see “Expansion for Bruno Cathala’s ‘Five Tribes’”).
