In Tectonic Tribes, five tribes navigate the mysterious world of Joldu, a world where the terrain is still forming and shifting tectonic plates constantly reveal new surprises. Each of these Tectonic Tribes aims to secure territories for themselves. Which tribe will emerge victorious when the terrain settles? Players take turns playing cards in the ever-expanding territory between them. This allows various territories, such as forests, water areas, and diamond mines, to expand. However, because the cards are stacked on top of each other, the territories can also be interrupted. A player can place a tribe card adjacent to a territory and score points this way. But be careful! You only score points if your tribe has the majority of tents adjacent to a territory. If another tribe has more tents adjacent to the same territory, your opponent gets the points and you get nothing. The order in which cards are placed is determined by the number in the corner of the card. The player who plays the highest card is the first to place a territory or tribe card in the territory. At least one and a maximum of five of the territory cards must always overlap with a card already on the table. Try to cleverly expand your own territories and interrupt your opponents' territories so that you end up with the largest tribe and win the game.

Konventionen in der Kunst sind wie ein zweischneidiges Schwert: eine mächtige Waffe für den geschickten Benutzer, eine tödliche Falle für den Unfähigen. Ein echter Künstler weiß, wie er dieses Schwert wie ein Seiltänzer handhaben muss, indem er die Extreme mit Finesse und Präzision ausbalanciert. Ist man zu sehr an die Kunst in ihrer aktuellen Form gebunden, wird man als überholt und irrelevant angesehen. Innoviert man zu radikal, wird die Kunst nicht einmal als solche erkannt, oder – wenn doch – wird sie verspottet und verachtet. Lassen Sie Ihre Kunst neue Dinge sagen, während Sie mit dem Alten im Gespräch bleiben. Meistern Sie dieses Paradoxon. Ein lebendiger Dialog ist der Schlüssel zu Ihrem Erfolg.
