## Description
In Rise of Tribes you command a prehistoric tribe on a freshly discovered land dotted with lakes, mountains and forests. The board is built from modular hexes that depict various terrain types, each with a population limit. On each turn the active player rolls two custom dice (marked with icons) and picks two of the four available actions: Grow, Move, Gather, or Lead. The strength of each action is a mix of the roll and the last two dice placed on that same action by other players, creating a "dice stack" that can boost or dampen the effect.

After performing the two actions, any conflicts are resolved when more than one tribe occupies the same hex. At turn end you may build villages (one per hex) and complete goal cards that grant immediate points. Each village scores one point at the start of the owning tribe's next turn, and goal cards can be worth several points when fulfilled. The win condition is the first tribe to reach 15 points, whether through villages, development goals, or specific achievements.

Designed for 2‑4 players, a game lasts 30‑60 minutes and carries a light learning curve (weight 2.2). In addition to the core game, there is a very challenging solo mode that requires the Rise of Tribes: The Vul'Keth Invasion expansion. Rise of Tribes blends resource management, area control, and variable player powers, all flavored by dice luck, delivering a fast yet strategically rich experience for fans of ancient civilizations and replayable gameplay.
