## Description
Get ready for an epic journey through the history of Great Britain with Island Tribes: Historical Strategic Game! This block-building game, designed for 1 to 3 players, invites you to simulate over 2,500 years of settlement on the island, culminating in William the Conqueror's famous conquest. Forget fixed scenarios, because here diversity is the keyword: each game begins with a random composition of the indigenous population, which can be playable or neutral, ensuring that every game is a unique experience.

## FAQ
### What is the main objective in Island Tribes?
Your main goal is to dominate the largest part of the island of Great Britain. But be prepared, as it's a slow and long-term process, reflecting the complexity of real history!

### Can I play solo?
Absolutely! The solo mode is fully regulated, meaning you won't just be playing alone, but facing neutral factions whose actions are guided by the game's rules. It's a complete challenge!

### Does the game have fixed scenarios?
Not exactly. Instead of predefined scenarios, the game allows you to start in any of the 22 chronological periods (equivalent to 20 unique scenarios, as starting after 1200 wouldn't make much sense). The randomness of the native population at the start also ensures a consistently fresh experience.

### How does replayability work?
High replayability comes from the combination of the variable setup of the indigenous population and the possibility of starting in different historical periods. This ensures that each game is unique, even with straightforward local rivalry mechanics.

### Can I switch factions during the game?
Yes! Depending on the circumstances, you can choose to merge your people with another regional group or even abandon your current faction to take command of a new invading force. Flexibility is key!

### Is it a complex game for wargame beginners?
It simulates 2,500 years of history, so expect strategic depth. While block rivalry mechanics are common, long-term management and historical decisions might require some dedication. But the replayability makes up for the learning curve!
