Review: Excelente juego - Excelente juego, el paquete llegó en óptimas condiciones, sin ningún daño aparente.
Review: Very dynamic game - Five tribes has a very dynamic play style as the board constantly changes after other player's move. This grants each player a lot of power to change the game and rely less on luck type of play (don't use dices). The board and pieces are really well made - maybe the box could have better slots to store the pieces after. Definitely recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the copies being sold now the newer print run with fakir cards, or are they from the original print run with slave cards?**
A: The copies we are selling are from the 2nd print run (which has the original slave cards in it).  Replacement cards for this edition can be purchased separately from the publisher.-- Respectfully,Robert S. Solow, Ph.D.CLS GamesAtlanta's Board Game WarehouseLAND: (770) 966-8340CELL: (770) 310-2498

**Q: How is it for two players? Some games say two can play, but the rules aren't terribly well balanced.**
A: The rules are the same regardless of how many players there are.  If you're playing with two players, you get two turns per round and that really changes the dynamic of the game.  My husband and I have played as a 2 player game more than we have as 3-4 player.  We love this game for any number.  What changes so much with a 2 player game and having 2 turns, is that you can bid to have 2 back-to-back turns.  That means you can use your first move to set up something for your second move, and that can be a serious advantage.  But that's really the only difference in rules.  Meeples, djinn, and placement all work the same.

**Q: I just received my copy of five tribes via this listing and my copy apparently has the fakir cards. :( what should I do?**
A: The most recent print runs of the game will have the Fakir cards.

**Q: Is there any way to ensure that I'll get a copy of the game with the slave card when ordering from Amazon?**
A: Hello Mike,Yes, there is.  Amazon is a collection of individual retailers who use Amazon as a store front and at this moment there are 33 retailers currently selling new copies of Five Tribes.  You would need to check each specific Amazon retailer and ask them which edition they have and then make sure that you order only from a retailer who has that specific edition in stock.  We (CLS Games) have the US English Edition WITH SLAVE CARDS, but we cannot say what the other 32 other Amazon retailers are selling.Respectfully,Robert S.
