Five Tribes: The Artisans of Naqala — Prices

If you already enjoy the dynamics of Five Tribes, get ready to upgrade your struggle for the Sultanate. 'The Artisans of Naqala' arrives to shake up your strategy by introducing the sixth tribe: the Artisans. Represented by purple meeples, these folks aren't here to fight for territory in the traditional way, but rather to create. With them, you can craft magic items and precious goods that can grant valuable victory points or special abilities that can shift the tide of the match.

To make the most of the Artisans' talent, you'll need to explore new board tiles. The expansion introduces Workshops, where the magic of creation happens, and Specialized Markets, where you can secure that specific item your strategy is missing. But don't think it's a walk in the park; the expansion also adds geographical obstacles, such as impassable chasms and mountain markers, forcing you to rethink your meeple movement and adapt your plans to the new terrain of the map.

In addition to the crafting and terrain elements, you also get two new Djinns, adding more layers of powers and tactical possibilities to the table. This is the ideal expansion for those who feel the base game has become too predictable and want more depth in resource management and interaction between tribes. Essentially, it transforms the race for power into something more sophisticated, where having the right item at the right time can be just as decisive as having the largest army in a region.
