Five Tribes review
The Sultanate of Naqala needs a new ruler, and the method of selection is, as these things tend to be, profoundly undemocratic. You will not be voted in. You will not inherit. You will instead shuffle coloured wooden people around a grid of desert tiles until you have accumulated more points than everyone else at the table, at which point you are declared Great Sultan, a title that sounds magnificent right up until you realise you earned it by being very good at picking up and putting down meeples.
