	Description Edit \| History

Tribes is a roleplaying game that simulates the way our ancestors lived long ago. Players can re-create - and change - the earliest human societies, and see what effects the rules of society have on their ability to survive and reproduce. The object of Tribes is to raise healthy children. To do so, you must face the challenges of nature and make the best use of your abilities within the rules of your tribe... or convince your fellow tribespeople to change those rules.
