The Sultanate of Naqala continues to flourish. This time of prosperity has attracted more competitors than grains of sand in the desert, so if you expect to remain on top, you’ll have to learn some new tricks… especially since the Sultan founded 5 new fabulous cities that everyone wants to control. I’ve also heard that the Sultan sometimes holds hearings in those cities, offering huge rewards to those who grant him his whims. Are you up for the challenge?

With Whims of the Sultan, up to 5 players can now vie to control the 5 fabulous cities and work to satisfy the Sultan’s requirements.

This expansion can be played with the base game alone or along with The Artisans of Naqala expansion.

A word from the author

After designing a series of smaller games, my inner-self began to insist that I work on something bigger and more substantial,” said Five Tribes creator, Bruno Cathala. “While I’ve already played the prototype hundreds of times, it’s still the game I want to play most often. So please don’t hesitate to come to play with me at festivals – I never grow tired of Five Tribes!

The other expansion

They say that in the very heart of the mountains of the Sultanate of Naqala, there lives a Tribe that rarely appears in the bazaars and markets in town.
