The Tribez is a tribe-building simulation game from GameInsight. You are the new tribe chief, and it's up to you to lead your people into a new era, helping them rebuild the tribe back from certain doom.

Treated as a messiah figure by the villagers, you're roped into helping them develop their civilization, which means the usual CityVille-style grind of erecting buildings, leveling them up, collecting resources, and expanding your territory. Where The Tribez parts way with CityVille is in its philosophy toward social interaction and microtransactions.

But what if you went back even further, to the time when humans were just discovering fire and figuring out how to use tools? You may just have the answer soon when The Tribez launches on iPad.
