Tribes of the Wind
Rebuild a polluted world with forests, villages and temples, while card effects depend on your neighbors.
Who it's for
You like tile-laying and set collection with an eco theme and a bit of neighbor interaction. Good for groups that enjoy optimizing a layout while keeping an eye on rivals.
Not for you if…
You want something relaxing and free of timing pressure. The trigger to end the game is in everyone's hands, and it can arrive sooner than you plan.
Vibe's take
Puzzly and spatial with a social twist: you keep one eye on your own tile layout and the other on the card backs your neighbors leave behind. The race to the fifth village keeps the tension up.
About this game
Humanity has left a polluted wasteland behind, and your tribe is going to heal it. You play cards from your hand to plant forests, raise villages and temples, and clean up contaminated tiles, while wind riders scout the map. The twist: whether a card works, and how, depends on the backs of the cards your neighbors have played, so you are always reading the table. Complete objectives to unlock your guide's special ability and boost your tribe. The game ends as soon as someone builds their fifth village, and points depend on pollution, villages, temples, the layout of your forests and more. Plan for roughly 90 minutes with two to five players.
