About the game
The Grand Owl has embarked on his final journey, and the council of elders will soon meet to appoint his successor. To become the leader of the Kwatoko tribe, you must first prove yourself worthy! Let all clan chiefs gather their faithful owl warriors and accomplish legendary feats! The most deserving of all will be appointed Grand Owl at the new moon. Watch out: your rivals are mighty and cunning and won’t hesitate to throw an owly wrench in your plans! Owly Tribe is a dice-based worker placement game in which you can play havoc with your opponents’ plans! - At the beginning of each round, each player rolls the 4 dice that make up their reserve and which represent their owl warriors. - Then they assign one of their character’s powers to a die roll. - On their turn, each player places a die on one of the randomly selected locations and applies its power. - Once all warriors have been placed, the player with the highest value on a given place wins control of this place. - They can then pick a totem pole, which represents their feat; the player who comes second is awarded the remaining pole. - The powers of the different locations are then applied.
