The four major gnome tribes are at war, each vying for control of the kingdom. For those who don't know anything about gnomes, they arn't the nice guys described in the old folk tales. They're short, feisty, quite ingenious and awfully stingy. While huddled in their castles, they prepare their next attack developing nasty war machines. Be you gnomes from the marshes, the forests, the mountains, or the fields, you will have to show stupendous ingenuity to defeat your adversaries in the Gnome Wars.Things get even tougher when the object of the game comes to light shortly before the end.You have to be good in every field (wealth, power and scientific invention) to become the Grand Gnome. Gnome Tribes retraces the great conflicts among the gnomes. Each player must use every scrap of strategy and ingenuity. Use all means at your diposal: special weapons, espionage, scientific research or anything else that might come in handy to take the lead of all the tribes and win the Gnome Wars.
