My Tribe





Start your own adventure on one of billions of islands in My Tribe. Set your adventurous villagers to tasks to support and grow on your new island home. Let them learn on their own and start families, and then help them to discover the mysteries of the island. Design your new village, and create a thriving, prosperous paradise with My Tribe.


My Tribe starts out by letting you choose your perfect island from among billions of choices. Next you are introduced to your tribe, and can choose who to set on which tasks. Your islanders are intelligent, and will stick to the task you put them on and continue to learn. Build huts and buildings for storage, research, even clothing design, grow your population, and explore the mysteries of your new island home.

My Tribe reminds us of the Virtual Villagers series by Last Day of Work, with a few welcome changes. Once set to a task, the villagers stick to it. Kids can be set on a task and will automatically go to it when they reach working age. Parents are not bogged down for two years with a nursing baby, but instead immediately return to work while the baby toddles around them. We also like the fact that you can research a clothing design building to change the villagers clothes! My Tribe may seem similar to one of our favorites, but I think it stands alone. It is slightly easier for the younger kids (or us busy parents!) to be able to run their own villages, without coming back to a dead village. All of my kids are really enjoying this one!
