Rise of Tribes

Rise of Tribes is a fantastic, civilization building board game that plays in a relatively quick 30–60 minutes. Players race to control the land, build and defend villages, build new technologies, and fulfill their goals in the hunt for victory! It's a delight, with tons of options to keep it feeling fresh as it returns to your gaming table.

Of course, I'm ridiculously excited about its approach to combat and its amazing action mechanic! I wrote all about these in "Rise of Tribes and the Tragedy of the Commons," which is linked below. Check it out!

Rise of Tribes is an exceptionally good game to introduce to players who are fairly new to tactical games and want to focus more on building their civilization than engaging in some serious combat. With a quick turn around, its very easy to reset, draw new Leaders, and try your hand again in the same night!
