I watched this years ago when I first got the game. I just watched it again as a refresher. You're still the gold standard and the board game community appreciates you.
Very kind of you to say, I’m very glad to be able to offer this service to fellow gamers :)
Wow. Having explained a lot o games over the years I have to say this was a pretty top tier explanation.
Very kind of you to say - thanks!
Yeah its almost as iff he has done it before ;P
We love you, Rodney!!!! My family can't get along without your game explanations!!
So glad to be a part of your gaming experience!
Your videos are a great resource to the gaming community. Thanks for your clear and concise explanations!
You're so welcome - glad you enjoy them!
Thank you so much for the brevity and conciseness of explaining this game. I definitely want to add this to my collection!
You're very welcome Glad you enjoyed it!
No way I buy this game without your explanation! Brilliant job explaining in such a concise and clear manner. Thank you, Rodney!
Very kind of you to say Brian! Have a great time playing :)
Yet another fabulous teaching!! Simply the best in the biz!
Thank you kindly Mark!
thanks a ton for the quick yet detailed explanation Rodney. Just got this game and can't wait to play it! Excited to see how players are gonna tackle their own AP problems :)
Ha! Hopefully you find the tackle it well :)
Thanks so much for this video! My sister and I just opened it for christmas and were confused on the rules. This cleared many things up. Happy New Year! Cheers ^^
Very glad to hear this helped Tau!
I just traded for 5 tribes. The rulebook isn't bad, but this just makes it so clear and concise. Thanks Rodney, your videos remain the best out there.
So glad to know you found this useful - have a great time playing!
Hi Rodney, I like this way to explain the game. I made a rough idea of how to play very quickly. Thank you!
You're welcome Carlos!
Bravo and thank you for a very succinct and mercifully quick explanation. My flatmate is wanting to get me into a game today, and I wasn't looking forward to trying to grasp the game via the rule book...or be subjected to a well-meaning but disjointed summary. Holy Crap, there's a lot going on in this game. You have my like and subscription. Cheers!
I hope you have a great time playing and welcome to the channel!
Just got it. Thanks for quick runthrough!
Brian Farr My pleasure! Hope you enjoy playing.
Looks like an interessting game, I might have to concider picking it up :P
Btw Love your videos, Keep up the good work Rodney :)
Hey - thanks kjelliy!
Very clear and helpful video. Thank you!
You're very welcome Hal!
This was great. Cheers Rodney.
Thank you :
Thanks for the help! This game was a bit hard to get at first!
My pleasure!
Yeah, this is going into the collection in the upcoming weeks haha.
Thanks for checking out the video Anthony!
at 2:48 you place a blue meeple diagonally from the tile you took it off..then say "you can't go diagonally" .. did I miss something?? THanks
In the example, I mean that you can't go directly diagonal. I start by going down, and 'then' over. Hope that helps.
@@WatchItPlayed ah... the old "double orthogonal" trick :) ..thanks for clarifying
Hi Rodney, great explanation, but I think you made a mistake in the clean up phase when you shifted the resources to add new ones. You made them slide towards the end of the line rather than the start. That would make it impossible or any player to ever get access to the last 3 resources.
+Marco9603 Do you have a time stamp for the mistake you think you saw? I'll take a look.
+Watch It Played At 3:42, when explaining how the green meeples work, you take resources from the start of the line, which is at the bottom. Then, at 7:58 when replenishing the resources, you shift the remaining ones the other way.
+Marco9603 Ah yes, yes - good catch! During the recording, I switched in my head where the start of the line was - don't make this same mistake :) Sorry for the confusion.
When counting up the score, do you count the total value of the gold coins (1, 1, 5 = 7), or just the total number of gold coins (1, 1, 5 = 3)?
P.S. Big fan of your work!
Hey Red, you use the total value of your coins (the first example you mention).
Awesome
About assassins, if you end with 3,must they be up to 3 away in one direction only (not diagonal), or can you turn when counting squares (like down 2,then left 1?)
You can change direction.
wow thanks for this
+Jay C Very pleased you liked it!
Say you land on the small market space, how many times can you do that action in one turn. I also have the same question for the djinn space, If you have enough white elders could you buy more then one djinn. It does not state this in the directions.
+Eric Reilly Yes, it is clear. Page 6 under Tile Actions says "perform the Action." The word Action is singular not plural. There is never mention of getting to perform it more than once. Then, underneath when each Action is described, it explicitly states "place 1 palm tree" or "pay three gold coins and pick one resource card." If the rules don't state something, you can't do it ... rulebooks cannot negate every possibility under the sun, or they would be infinitely long.
Thanks to Chuck for the assist!
Bruno Cathala is truly one of the greats.
No argument there!
I have a question regarding the resource (market) cards. If the player before you in the same round buys the card in slot 1,and you land on the tile where you can buy 1 of the first 3 for 3 gc, is it the first 3 cards still there, which are in slots 2,3,4 since 1 was purchased already, or do you have to purchase from the first 3 slots, and only slot 2 and 3 are available?
The available cards are always counted, starting from those that are visible (so the cards in slot 2, 3, 4 and the first 3 cards in the case you describe) - hope that helps!
@@WatchItPlayed it absolutely does! Thank you!
After watching several videos on how to play, my husband and I made our first attempt last night. We ended up with some questions that either weren't clear or we couldn't find answers to in the instructions. 1) When you place a palm or palace on the board, do you pay the coins or receive them at that time? And if not, and they're calculated at the end of the game, how do you know who placed it there? Is it just given to whoever owns the tile with the camel? 2) For the Djin cards, do you always pay an elder (or elder + fakir) to obtain one? Then what does it mean when some of the cards have another cost on them? Is that the additional cost to use them during the game? When using one, can you play it repeatedly throughout the game and just pay the extra cost each time? And finally, if you do play with a Djin, does that constitute your whole turn during a round or can you execute it at the end of the round? Sorry for so many questions but you seem to be the resident expert and we didn't know where else to find answers... TIA!
1) Palms and palaces earn you their points at the end of the game: th-cam.com/video/hfvDro2ecFw/w-d-xo.html
2) The cost you are seeing on the card is explained here: th-cam.com/video/hfvDro2ecFw/w-d-xo.html
3) If a Djinn has a cost, they can only be used once per turn, only during the turn of the player who controls the Djinn. It does not replace your whole turn, it's something you do in addition to your turn.
Hope that helps.
@@WatchItPlayed Thanks so much for the prompt reply! I apologize, but I'm still a bit confused though. When you place a palm or palace it doesn't cost you anything, right? Those are point given at the end of the game to whoever owns the tile with the camel? So it doesn't matter who placed the palm or palace, the points will go to the owner of the tile? And as far as the Djinns go, I guess you pay the initial cost to obtain the card in the first place? And then (if it has a cost on the card), you pay that each and every time you want to want to use its power? For example, last night I "bought" the Urug card which gives me control of any tile that doesn't have a camel, tree or palace. As long as I have the elders to pay for it, what stops me from using that card on every turn to buy as many tiles as I can? Thanks again!
@@1conchale2vertale These posts are a bit tricky to answer, as there are so many different things you're covering in each one :) Let's try to separate this out a bit. First of all, you have everything right up until the part where you start talking about Urug. So everything you say before that is correct.
Okay, now let's move onto Urug. I don't have the cards in front of me, and I don't generally give answers on individual cards because that's more than I can manage across all the games I cover (especially since this one was shot in 2014 :) ), but perhaps this thread can help: boardgamegeek.com/thread/1232191/question-djinn-utug
@@WatchItPlayed I understand. Thanks so much for your time and effort to answer my awkward questions. : )
@@1conchale2vertale Have a great time playing!
If I take ownership of a tile through an assassin killing I place my camel on this tile, do I also get to add the palace or palm tree or have the option of resource cards or Djins? Instrustions also included on this tile
Been awhile since I've played, so I had to go to the rule book. This is what I found: "If you took control of a second Tile this turn using Assassins, you do not get to perform the actions of that Tile; only those of the Tile you ended your move on."
The Djinn that gives bonus money for killing. Is it I get 1 gc if i kill and 2 if someone else kills or is it the other way around?
If you hold Nekir, whenever an Assassin kills a Meeple, you'll earn 1 VP if it's your action, or 2 VP's if it's an opponent who does the killing.
To collect palace victory point I need to control that tile by putting camel.!? Or I can get 5 victory points directly after game ends.!?
Hey there, I'm having a little trouble understanding your question. Perhaps if you included a time stamp to the section of the video you're unsure about? I shot this a few years ago, so I'd have to go look up in the rule book to find the answer.
You need to have controlled the spot with a camel in order to gain the points associated with palaces and palm trees. There may be palm trees on a tile at game's end with nobody's camel on it which would mean nobody would get points.
Hey Rodney,
In regards to the assassins, when you assassinate say with 2 meeples, you have a distance of 2, can you assassinate the meeple on the tile where you picked up the assassins or does it have to be directly away from the tile that you originally landed on?
desgtoy Yes, you can assassinate a meeple from the tile you end on.
Thanks for this great short video! Haha what an ugly palm tree :D
Glad you enjoyed!
What will happen to the tile once we take all three meeples from a specific tile at the beginning of my turn
I shot this long enough ago, that I don't remember the rules by memory - do you have a time stamp to the section of the video you are asking about?
The tile sticks around & might get meeples on it again on future turns to be then claimed by a future move.
Thanks for this, Five tribes probably has one of the worst rulebooks I've come across for a board game and now it's much clearer :)
Very happy to help!
I dread reading rulebooks but I actually found the Five Tribes rulebook really easy. Did they update it?
No - I'd say it's more that each person will assess the difficulty of a rule book differently.
I played this before, and I think it must have been a different version, as instead of slaves, we had fakirs, which worked similarly, except they couldn’t be used to enhance Builders or Assassins.
What I'm showing here is the first edition. The slaves were later replaced with Fakirs.
K1naku5ana3R1ka : If, in the new editions, fakirs can’t be used to enhance builders or assassins, then they have no purpose other than helping to buy djinn, at least if you go by the rest of the first edition rules. Does the new edition say what the fakirs ARE used for? Thanks!
tvdavis Yes, they’re used to buy and use the powers of djinns.
@@tvdavis they are used exactly as the slaves were used...the only change is in name only.
I thought assassins could only assassinate in a straight line... woooot. Game changer!
A pleasure to assist!
hi i just want to ask when the game finish ???
I talk about how the game ends, here: th-cam.com/video/hfvDro2ecFw/w-d-xo.htmlm6s - hope that helps!
When someone uses up all their camels to take control of squares, or when there are no legal moves.
aside from that, perfect video
Glad you enjoyed!
what happens if it was a tie with the Viziers?
Viziers are scored like this: 1 VP for each Vizier (Yellow Meeple) you own + 10 VPs for each opponent who has strictly less Viziers than you do.
If an opponent is tied with you, they do no have less than you, so you don't get the bonus 10 points.
Played this recently and I knew something was wrong... Well, almost everything was wrong. Trust issues increased +1.
Glad the video was able to help Alyssa :)
Thanks for the vid, the rulebook is total thrash compared to your easy to understand explanation!
+Jayesh Jasvantlal Very pleased you enjoyed it!
Stumbled upon this funny attempt at a 'new segment'.
First, great video... but I'm guessing the concept was dropped because in the end, it's the same exact 'how to play' video, except you just rush your sentences ever so slightly :-D
Ha! It was more that the tutorial portion was paired with a "speed-run" play through, and doing that form of play through didn't become something we wanted to do regularly :)
If you have 4 elders, can you take 2 djinns in the same turn?
Nope, just a single one per turn.
I came to this *after* buying the game (based on reputation) for a 19-year-old friend who I am trying to draw into board games.
I was surprised (horrified, really) to see that the game requires you to make use of slaves (who are accurately, but startlingly, depicted). In other words - this light, colorful, family game turns you into a slaveowner.
Imagine my relief when my boardgamegeek research revealed Days of Wonder changed the slaves to fakirs in later editions*. I rushed to my copy to confirm, yep, it uses fakirs (depicted on the back of the box). Whew.
I am posting this for people who would have let this keep them away from the game.
*DOW coming to their senses, if you ask me. Although if you look at BGG, you'll see a vigorous debate between folks with my view and people favoring a "historical" and "not politically-correct" use of slaves.
These can also be picked up at the BGG Store: boardgamegeekstore.com/products/five-tribes-fakirs-dhenim
oh I did some stuff wrong
Hope the video helped!
Most definitely. My wife and I goofed on set collecting. Thought it meant spend 3 to get one, not take one from first three. Assassins explained way better. And the understanding of Castle and Palm Tree placement. Other then that we had it figured out I thought. Thanks for video.
A pleasure to help!
This game was explained perfectly, but the heavy math to remember has steered me away from this game.
Thanks for the kind words - and always happy when a video helps you find a game you'd enjoy, or avoid one that wouldn't be a good fit for you!
@@WatchItPlayed I'm a big fan of your content, and I have bought several games and items because of your reviews! Mansions of Madness, My Little Scythe, Small World Game Trayz, just to name a few!
Why did they have to call them slaves. Damn.
yes, this was a poor decision. They changed this in a future printing. Did they make it better?... that's up for debate.
Too complicated for my taste.
Glad the video was helpful in giving you a sense of whether the game would be a good fit for you.
@@WatchItPlayed It was well explained. Thank you.
how old is this game- still representing human slaves. shame. Game looks good though.
They did update the game to remove the slaves, but the update was only marginally better. Frankly, games with these elements are not ones I would choose to feature in the future.
Yah, it’s a shame because I’ve played this game and it’s really fun. But I wouldn’t buy it because of the theme.
