Overview
From the rules:
This game is a humorous simulation of the Great Orc Wars, when the 10 Tribal Chiefs of the Known World attempted (in vain) to unite their humanoid hordes for control of the caravan routes and supremacy over the neighboring human and elven realms. From two to four people are required, each representing a Tribal Coalition.
Whenever one of the following victory conditions is achieved, the game ends and a winner is declared: 1) A Tribal Coalition with five or more chiefs on the board at the end of any Game Turn wins a political victory. 2) A Tribal Coalition wins a military victory by controlling 12 or more fortresses and/or territories at the end of any Game Turn. 3) A Tribal Coalition with 35 or more gold points in Hand at the end of any Game Turn wins an economic victory.
