After three ages of play, whoever has collected the most glory wins! How to Play Ethnos Round-Up

On your mention of Skat that is similar to the game 500 (pretty common in New Zealand and Australia and the Northern US and Canada from what I hear - well, at least in the 70s & 80s) where there are...

Before mixing the Glory tokens, remove the tokens marked with a "4+" and return them to the box. Then, shuffle the rest of the tokens and place two in each Kingdom. At the end of the First Age, the player with the most Control markers in each Kingdom earns Glory equal to the lowest Glory token in that Kingdom, as normal.

Hand Limit: If you already have 10 Ally cards in your hand, you cannot choose this action on your turn. You must Play a Band of Allies instead. If your Band is large enough, place one of your Control markers on the Kingdom that matches the color of your Leader card. You can only place a Control marker if there are currently fewer Control markers of your color in that Kingdom than the number of cards in the Band you just played (for example, you only need 1 card to place your first marker in a Kingdom, 2 cards to place your second marker there, and so on).

If a tie persists, victory goes to the largest Band of Allies played in the last Age, then second largest, and so on.

Pay special attention to the Tribes of Ethnos chapterat this point if you have the Dwarves, Giants, Merfolk, Orcs, Skeletons, or Trolls in play. Glory For The Band Of Allies

A Band of Allies is a group of cards that you play together from your hand. A Band can include anywhere from 1 to 10 cards. All of the cards in a Band must belong to the same Tribe (i.e., have the same name and art) or to the same Kingdom (i.e., have the same color).If there is a tie for the most Control markers in a Kingdom, the Glory awards for the tied players are combined together and then divided equally between them (rounded down). In Ethnos, players call upon the support of giants, merfolk, halflings, minotaurs, and other fantasy tribes to help them gain control of the land. After three ages of play, whoever has collected the most glory wins! Some Tribe abilities refer to "X". This means the total number of cards in that Leader's Band of Allies. Ethnos is not over-ambitious in what it sets out to be. It's a light set collection game with area control elements and race abilities. It doesn’t take long to understand how to play, allowing players new to the hobby to begin learning new mechanisms easily. For this reason, Ethnos is a great gateway game.
