Where it came from
Clans was designed by the acclaimed German board game author Leo Colovini and originally published in 2002. Set in the dawn of humanity, the game tasks players with guiding developing tribes to settle across a prehistoric landscape. The design is celebrated for its elegant, minimalist mechanics, specifically the 'clumping' movement system where pieces are moved as a group, reflecting the social migration patterns of early hominids.
Winning Moves brought the title to a wider international audience through its distribution channels. The game received critical praise upon release for its tactical depth and accessible ruleset, eventually earning a nomination for the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award in 2003. It remains a notable example of the early 2000s wave of Eurogames that prioritized clever abstract strategy over luck-based gameplay.
