[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Old Sultan of Naqala died so this opened up opportunity for everyone to try and gain influence from the Five Tribes in order to seize control and become the next Sultan.
Based on a long tradition of German styled games, featuring wooden meeples. The rules of the game is relatively easy to follow but if you want to win you will have to work on strategy as one wrong move can set you back.
On a turn you take all the meeples from a tile of your choosing, you then start placing one meeple at a time moving to a connecting tile. As you place your last meeple you take all the meeples of the colour that you have just placed down. I.e. if you picked up two blue meeples and one green you wil move three tiles. On the last tile, you place a blue meeple and that tile there is one red, one white and three blue meeples. You will then have 4 blue meeples in our hand to use. You then take the action for the meeples and also any other actions required for that turn. When you have taken all the meeples from a tile you can place your camel meeple there, which means that you now own that tile. New meeples can still be placed on it but no one else can take ownership of the tile.
When no more moves are available the game ends and you will tally your scores. The player with the highest score wins. The game is fun for 2 players but have 3 or 4 will increase the fun drastically.

30 Tiles depicting the Sultanate of Naqala
