Custom Game: Natives

For a week themed around Explorers, we created a custom tabletop game, where the natives of the land try to keep the newcomers from exploiting their homes, and potentially exterminating their people. Our hexagon-shaped mats represented different areas of the land, and could be configured differently each game. We had nine explorers based on historical figures, whose voyages lead to devastating results for the natives of the lands.

Scroll to see images the different roles we played: The Elder, Priestess, Rogue, and Young Warrior.

Game Intro

They call themselves explorers, but you soon learn they mean to invade.They have come in search for gold and spices, and they threaten your native land and people.

You and your teammates will travel across your island, setting traps, fighting, seeking the help of your gods, and relying on your individual strengths to protect your land from the invaders. Can you weaken the enemy enough to drive them away before they completely take over the only home you’ve ever known?
