About this game

Fate of Akalon: Tribes is a 2-4 player combat card game set on the dying continent of Akalon. Players control a tribe of fantasy races in a struggle for survival. Each turn a player will play a card to the battlefield and compare combat values. The winner's card goes to their discard pile, the loser's card to that players cemetery. The winner is the first player to send 30 points worth of combat value to their opponent's cemetery. Each race's deck contains unique thematic powers to influence the combat values when played. Fate of Akalon: Tribes is a quick, thematic card game that surprises with depth of play belying its simple mechanisms.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
