Board with Games: Tribe

 

The Gameboard. We have Africa divided into assorted zones along with three possible start points.

So the game is for 2-3 players.

Each player gets a language development card deck.

Game play: each player rolls 1d6. This is the number of starting cards you can draw from your language development deck. 

The name of your tribe is made from this initial alphabet.

Your first game piece is on the start point.

What happens during a turn?

step 1: Turn Option

A. Move an existing piece to an adjacent location.

or

B. Attack a rival on an adjacent location. This is a massacre and you take the location from your rival.

Or

C. Spawn a new piece from your start location-only if you have an existing piece on start location. The new piece is moved into an empty adjacent location.

Or

D. develop language. Roll 1d6. Draw new alphabet cards from your language deck equal in number.

 

Step 2: Check language Development. If you can spell a word from your drawn alphabet- words like farming, pyramid, canoe, boat, then your tribe has developed these. If you can spell canoe and have secured a location next to madagascar, you can move a game piece to the island next turn. If you can spell boat you can sail from any coastal location to madagascar next turn.

As your tribe occupies the map, in conflict with your opponent(s) the game continues until you gain all 26 letters of the alphabet before your rival.

Enjoy.

I got my arse kicked.

Linguistic Archaeology: The Sphinx and the Volcano

A big stone sphinx sits in the desert near some Pyramids facing almost precisely east. In ancient egyptian its word is Neb. In Protoindoeuropean Nebh means Cloud. The Sphinx construction dates around 2700BC.

Way off in South China Sea near Japan is the Kikai Caldera which Erupted explosivly in 4300BC.

While the timeline is distinct, the archaeological markers indicate an event that predates the construction of the Sphinx.

Conclusion: the Massa people are the oldest of the east African tribes predating even the Maasai. East Africa experiences a major tribal growth around 27% peaking during the 16%-15% period and then declining to a low at 6% fully literate. At 4% there is a sudden tribal growth spike (including the emergance of Pygmies Twa and Efe). By 1% fully literate the growth rate has again collapsed.

Conclusion: at 26% Bobo are the earliest African tribe followed quickly by Mano, Mina, Bemba, Mboum, Ibibio, Ibo (Igbo), and Bubi. This group is concentrated in West Africa. They migrate later into surrounding regions.

While the Massa and San (bushmen) are first in their regional groups, they occur at 25% after these first eight tribes as a whole have expanded from the initial Bobo tribe.

At 4% there is a growth in tribe numbers in east and west Africa (but not south) suggesting improved equatorial yields and population growth at this time.

Public Domain: Nebulan Space

In September 1800 the USS Insurgent and the USS Pickering were lost in a violent storm. When the crews awoke their vessels were adrift on alien seas, a strange crystal shard mounted as figureheads on their ships prows.

The Shards allow sailing vessels to open a worm hole in a warp-class storm linking to an ocean world in a nearby Star. 

The ships and crews were pulled through a warp by the Nebulans to Nexus, a world dominated by an earth like atmosphere with a sailable ocean. 

The Nebulan worlds are linked along specific routes of interstellar travel many light-years apart. The wormhole transit times are a day per light-year during which the ship appears to travel along a river of water.

Conclusion: female swahili culture begins at 46% with Mimi, collapses until 30% with Nuha, collapses again at 28%. At 26% they undergo a minor surge peaking at 22% before a slight decline before climbing greatly at 14%, declining and then undergoing a second major peak at 8% ending in decline at 2%.

Mimi is likely the Mother of the Swahili culture and early alphabet development for both male and female.

The two major cultural spikes at 14% and 8% for female culture coincide with slight drops in male culture. Perhaps these are periods of matriarchal rule.

Conclusion: Old English was introduced to england around mid-5th century by Anglo-Saxons. Lets assume this is happening at around its cultural peak (15%) with keeled ships. It been many centuries since the previous war which involved battles and Armies (long enough that the previous word for war was replaced) they are leaving behind a kingdom at war. Aesop's Fable of the Eagle and the Serpent showed up a few centuries ago. Invaded by Foreigners, combat is between warriors armed with spears and swords, Though temples are millennia old ideas inherited from Romans and Greeks- as places of refuge, religious worship involves sacrifice, payment in gold. Slavery is common, the populace live in 'dwellings' in villages surrounded by an enclosure and ruled by a local Thane. Wood is the common building material.

Over the next few centuries they see the rise of administrators such as stewards, laws are introduced theft is a crime. Stories of elves circulate. Predators such as Wolves, Thieves, and Criminals are active. Its peaceful and cleanliness is increasingly popular.

Eventually villages have become towns, castles are popular, nobles and Princes rule. Fights between Warriors with swords and pointed lances are spoken of in poetry.

War returns anew. Hostages taken. The Christian God is worshipped. Stone building materials are commonly used. Families live in houses. Important people have bands of retainers. 

Helmets are increasingly popular protection.

Smiths produce knives and shortswords.

Temples are built and the Idea of refuge (criminals hiding in the church) returns in popularity.
