Set in late prehistory, Clans takes players back to a time of transition when small, nomadic groups began to realize that life would be safer and less difficult if they formed larger communities. This shift eventually led to the creation of the first villages. In this board game, you’ll step into the shoes of those early humans, working to build secure and thriving villages.
In Clans, just as our ancestors would, you have to come together to build the most valuable villages. You will have to ponder each move, decide, and plan on collecting resources, forging alliances, and protecting your people so that your village prospers in the competition with other villages. The game is all about collaboration, strategy, and binding growing strong, connected communities.
Clans is designed for 2 to 4 players and doesn't take long, so it's ideal to play in a quick and fun game night. Be sure to check the rules and instructions so that full enjoyment can be experienced. Get your friends or family to start a game with you, and try out Clans today to find who can build the most successful village!

- The Clans Board Game Rules And Instructions
The game ends immediately after the 12th village is founded and scored. This last village always scores the 5 bonus points, no matter the territory in which it is founded. It can also happen that no more moves are possible before the 12th village is founded. In this case, the game ends immediately without scoring more villages. At this point, all the players reveal their secret colors, turning their clan cards face up. Remove the colored scoring discs from the board that are not in play. The players move their scoring discs forward on the scoring track to score the village chips they collected for founding villages (1 point per chip). The player with the most points is the winner!
