Let’s Play Five Tribes! @Boon Boona Coffee!

Crossing into the Land of 1001 Nights, your caravan arrives at the fabled Sultanate of Naqala. The old sultan just died and control of Naqala is up for grabs! The oracles foretold of strangers who would maneuver the Five Tribes to gain influence over the legendary city-state. Will you fulfill the prophecy? Invoke the old Djinns and move the Tribes into position at the right time, and the Sultanate may become yours!

Five Tribes: The Djinns of Naqala is a medium-complexity game that builds on a long tradition of Mancala-style "pick up and move" games. Other mechanics include a variable board setup, bidding, set collection, and light "take that" elements. In a unique twist on the worker placement genre, the game begins with the meeples already in place — and players must cleverly maneuver them over villages, markets, oases, and sacred sites. How, when, and where you displace these Five Tribes of Assassins, Elders, Builders, Merchants, and Viziers determine your victory or failure.
New players are welcome, and the host is happy to teach if you haven't played before.

2 - 5 players
60 - 120 minutes expected play time, depending on turnout and player familiarity.

(Don't worry, we'll go over the rules on the day, too.)

A few important details:

• This event is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM PLEASE be on time! If you would like to bring a guest please message me.
• It's First Hill/Seattle U, so parking can be a challenge. Please factor traffic & parking into your commute and if you will be late post in messages or the Discord. Boon Boona is only a few blocks from both the #3 & #4 bus lines and the First Hill Streetcar (Broadway & Marion or Broadway & Terrace).
• If you need to cancel please do so as soon as you know. People on the waitlist and playing that day will appreciate it! Signing up for this event means other people are counting on you to attend; board games have both a minimum and a maximum player count, so with limited seats available, I want to be sure that those seats actually have people in them. Last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours), no-shows, and late arrivals (30+ minutes) without good reason will be marked as no-show for the event and will be automatically moved to the waitlist if one forms for any and all future events they join which are hosted by me and other select hosts!
• SUPPORT THE VENUE! - Purchasing something isn't a requirement, but it's nice to do since we're using the space. Please support the business if you can!
• I open signups on Wednesday, 3 days before pressing the "announce" button here on Meetup; if you want to have the opportunity to claim a seat early, you can join the SBG Discord, where I'll post to let users there know as soon as RSVPs open as well as updates and posting polls for future meetups!
