In the game, as clan chief players will guide their people through the valley, guiding them about hunting and gathering food, and then discovering safe caves to shelter. One needs to connect through tiles to create a path through the valley. And then at the end, players compare their domains. The one with the most points in the weaker domain is declared the winner.
