A new addition I'm trying for my game on the Old Testament - the tribes of Israel.

Each player gets 1 or 2 of these Tribe counters at the start of Age 2 (which is roughly Genesis 12-50).

This provides a small bonus tied to that tribe's history.

For example, the tribe of Judah gets a free Bloodline OR Crown icon to use each turn. Represents the line of kings (like David) coming from the tribe of Judah.

The tribe of Levi gets a Holiness OR Sacrifice icon to use each turn. Represents their role as priests, conducting sacrifice before the Tabernacle and the Temple.

These tribal bonuses give the players a little identity, which should help with the narrative. The bonuses will also help with achieving the big goals of the game. 

Time to test them out!
