In the days of old, our ancestors lived in small groups and struggled to survive. But they had a brilliant idea: if they joined together and formed bigger communities, life would be easier and safer. And so, the very first villages came into being.
Now, let me tell you about the game. It takes place in a time long, long ago, when our ancestors were just starting to think about forming bigger groups. They lived in small nomadic bands, but they realized that life would be better if they came together and created larger communities.
In the game, there’s a board that shows a huge area divided into 60 territories. These territories come in four different types: forests (dark green), mountains (light gray), steppes (tan), and grasslands (light green). The territories are grouped into 12 regions, and each region has five territories. But pay attention, these 12 regions are only used in the beginning phase of the game. They are marked by rivers, shores of lakes, and the edge of the board, giving the game a realistic touch.
What else can you find on the board? Well, there’s a chart that shows the five different epochs of play, giving you a sense of the passage of time. And there’s a scoring track with 60 spaces, so you can keep track of your progress throughout the game.
In this game, you get to step back in time and experience what it was like to live in those early days of civilization. You have the chance to build something great, just like our ancestors did. Are you ready for the challenge?

Alright, let’s talk about this board game called Clans. I’ve got to say, it’s an interesting one. In this game, you’ll find 60 huts in 5 different colors. There’s 12 of each color, so you’ve got plenty to work with. Along with the huts, you’ll also get 5 secret clan cards in the 5 colors. These cards add a whole new layer to the game, keeping things exciting. To keep track of your progress, you’ll receive 5 small scoring discs in the 5 colors. It’s always nice to have visual cues to help you out. But that’s not all! You’ll also find 12 village chips in the box. These are a key part of the gameplay, so make sure you don’t forget about them. And last but not least, there’s the rules sheet. It’s always good to have the rules handy, especially when you’re just starting out. So there you have it, everything you need to get started with Clans. Have fun!

Setting Up the Game
- First, let’s set up the game board. We’ll need 60 huts, each a different color. Divide them into 12 groups of 5 huts and place each group in one of the regions on the board. Then, randomly place one hut in each of the 5 territories in that region. This will ensure that the different colors are spread out all over the board.
- Next, shuffle the 5 colored clan cards and deal one to each player. Keep your card secret from the other players. If there are fewer than 4 players, return the unused cards to the box.
- Now, let’s place the 12 village chips face up on the spaces of the epoch chart.
- Finally, place the 5 small scoring discs behind the starting line of the scoring track.
Playing the Game
Now that everything is set up, let’s begin playing!
Remember, the goal of the game is to score the most points and build the most prosperous village.
During the game, we will take turns, and each turn has two phases: Action Phase and Cleanup Phase.
In the Action Phase, you have two options:
1. Place a Hut: Choose a territory on the board where you want to place your hut. Place one of your huts there, following the color restrictions. You can only place a hut in a territory that matches the color of your clan card or in a neutral territory.
2. Activate a Village: Choose a village chip on the epoch chart and activate it. This will allow you to perform various actions that can help you score points or gain resources.
After completing your action, it’s time for the Cleanup Phase. In this phase, you will:
– Draw a new village chip to replace the one you activated (if applicable).
– Score points based on the number of huts you have in each region on the board.
– Move your scoring disc forward on the scoring track based on your total score.
The game continues with each player taking turns until all the huts have been placed on the board. At the end of the game, the player with the highest score wins!
So, let’s get started and build the most successful village in this exciting game!
In this game, there are always 5 clans playing, each represented by a different color – red, blue, green, yellow, and black.
The goal is to score points for your secret clan while keeping your color hidden from the other players.
1. Getting Started
We’ll begin by randomly selecting a starting player. This player will go first, and then the game will proceed in a clockwise direction.
2. Making Moves
There’s only one type of move in this game: on your turn, you’ll move all the huts from one territory to an adjacent territory. However, both territories must already have huts – empty territories cannot be used for this move. By doing this, some territories will become vacant while new villages are formed in others.
A rule you need to be aware of is that you can’t relocate huts from a territory that already has 7 or more huts in it. However, you are allowed to move huts to a territory like that. In a unique situation where two neighboring territories both have 7 or more huts, you can move the smaller group of huts to the larger one.
In the event that both territories contain an equal number of huts, you have the freedom to decide which group of huts to move.

So here’s the deal. You can move your group of huts to only two territories in this area because the other neighboring territories are empty. But, there’s a catch – you can only move the huts that number 1. The huts that number 2, there’s 7 of them, are off-limits and cannot be moved. Can’t have it all, right?
Just a little heads up – territories separated by a river are considered adjacent, but territories separated by a lake are not. Keep that in mind while you strategize.
Now let’s talk villages.
When you move your huts in such a way that a territory with huts is completely surrounded by empty territories or the edge of the board, you’ll found a village there. That’s pretty neat! But here’s the best part – when you found a village, you get to take a village chip from the epoch chart. The chips are taken in order, starting from the first epoch. These chips are worth points at the end of the game, so make sure to keep track of them. One point per chip, you got it?
When I play this game, I need to figure out how much my village is worth. Once I know the value, I can move my scoring discs on the scoring track.

When the huts in area 2 are relocated to either area 1 or area 3, the huts in area 1 transform into an established village.
You can’t move the huts in area 2 to area because area is empty.
4. Trouble
The different clans (shown by the different colored huts) usually get along well. But if all five colors are present when a village is established, there is trouble. In this situation, when the village is established (but only then), all single huts of one color are removed.
#image.jpg
For example: In a recently established village, there are 9 huts: 4 black, 2 red, 1 green, 1 yellow, and 1 blue.
Since all 5 colors are present, we eliminate and remove the single green, yellow, and blue huts from the board. The village becomes smaller, with a total of 6 huts.
5. Epochs
The game consists of 5 epochs. Each epoch has a specific type of territory that is particularly favorable for building villages, while another type of territory is very unfavorable. This means that any village completed in the unfavorable territory during that epoch is bound to fail. The left side of the epoch chart indicates the favorable territory, while the right side indicates the unfavorable territory.
In the 5th epoch, every type of territory is favorable for building villages.
Imagine this: You and your friends are exploring the uncharted territories of a new land, looking for the perfect spot to establish your village. You know that location is key, as it can bring you great rewards or result in total devastation.
Here’s the deal: If you manage to find a favorable territory, the clans involved will score bonus points for the village. But beware! If you end up in an unfavorable territory, your village will be destroyed and you won’t score any points. It’s a high-stakes game!
The number of villages you can found in each epoch depends on the number of village chips available for that epoch. In the first epoch, you have 4 chips, in the second, you have 3, and so on.
An epoch is a period of time, and it comes to an end when all the village chips for that epoch have been taken. Once that happens, a new epoch begins, and the cycle continues.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting: If you make a move that causes the founding of two or more villages at once, you get to decide the order in which they were founded. This decision can be crucial, especially when it comes to crossing epoch boundaries. Your strategic thinking can make all the difference!
So, here’s the deal: if you stumble upon the 12th and final village all in one go, you get to pick which one of those villages is the lucky number 12 and score an additional 5 points. Pretty sweet, right? But here’s the catch: any other villages you found along with the 12th one won’t count towards your score. It’s all about that number 12, baby.
The Importance of a Village
Okay, let’s talk about the value of a village. When you start a village, its worth is based on how many huts it has (after any conflicts, of course). We have 3 scenarios to consider:
- When a village is established in a location that is neither good nor bad, it has a basic value that remains constant.
- If a village is established in a location that is favorable for that time period, it gains additional value based on the bonus for that epoch.
- However, if a village is established in a location that is unfavorable for that time period, it is doomed. Its value decreases to zero and all its huts are removed from the board.
In the 3rd epoch, the steppe is the favored type of territory. Therefore, the clans involved earn 3 bonus points.
In the second era, grasslands are considered less desirable for settlements. Their value in the village is zero!
When I calculate the value of a village, I move all the scoring discs for the colors in that village forward on the scoring track, no matter how many huts there are.
So having more huts doesn’t give you an advantage.
In village 1, there are 5 huts: 3 blue, 1 yellow, and 1 red. It’s founded in the 1st epoch in the forest, which is the favored type of territory.
This means the village is worth 6 points: 5 points for the huts and 1 bonus point. The scoring discs for blue, red, and yellow are moved 6 spaces on the scoring track.
End of the Game
Hey there! I wanted to tell you about this cool game I played. So, the game ends as soon as the 12th village is founded and scored. And get this, the last village always gets 5 bonus points, no matter where it’s founded. Sometimes, though, there might not be any more moves possible before the 12th village is founded. In that case, the game ends right away without any more villages being scored.
Now, here’s the fun part. Once the game reaches this point, all the players reveal their secret colors by turning their clan cards face up. And hey, don’t forget to remove any colored scoring discs from the board that are no longer in play.
Alright, let’s talk about scoring. The players move their scoring discs forward on the scoring track to score the village chips they collected for founding villages. Every chip is worth 1 point. So, the more chips you’ve collected, the more points you’ll get!
Now, here’s the best part – the player with the most points is the winner! So, give it your all and score those villages to come out on top!
