## Description
Prepare to lead your Inuit tribe to prosperity under the spectacle of the aurora borealis! In Inuit: The Snow Folk, you take on the role of a leader tasked with expanding your people, hunting for sustenance, and seeking the wisdom of ancestral spirits. This card game for 2 to 4 players combines open drafting with tableau building, where each turn presents a strategic decision.

At the start of your turn, you reveal cards from the common deck. From there, you choose a type of card to add to your village, and the quantity you draft depends on your population in certain occupations. Elders help expand your people, Shamans invoke spirits and perform rituals, Warriors bring the power of the conquered, Hunters secure vital resources like seals and polar bears, and Scouts broaden your choices. Each card added to your tableau represents a step towards power and glory.

Inuit: The Snow Folk is a refreshed version of a previous game, now featuring stunning art and the option to add two modular expansions for even more depth. It's a game with moderate interaction, where managing your choices and observing your opponents are key to success. If you enjoy card games with strong cultural themes and accessible mechanics, yet with room for strategy, this Arctic adventure might be for you.
