Object of the Game

You are the driving spirit behind an early nomadic human tribe. You will watch them accomplish great things as they grow up and travel across the land. Guide them well and they will thrive, grow in number, and produce artwork.

Guide them poorly and they will take too long learning how to do simple tasks, and their options will be more limited. The player who manages their tribe best, wins! …

  When choosing to "perform an action", after you move onto the Action tile and bumped any opposing Clan meeples off of it.

  Do not bump opposing Clan meeples off the new Action tile, only the one you initially moved to.
