Board Game Geek Rating: 6, Avg Player Rating: 7.3. For 2 - 4 players, published in 2019. This is the Retail Import Edition of the Prehistory Board Game, including the Core Game. In this game, you step into the shoes of a late - stone - age prehistoric tribe. With food running out around your campsite, your tribe must move on to survive. You'll travel to discover new areas, searching every corner for food. Each player goes their own way, aiming to find the richest soil, build a new home, and found the strongest tribe. As players, you'll manage food and resources through various actions like gathering, fishing, hunting, painting on walls, or performing ceremonies. While searching for a new home and conquering new areas, you'll face situations prehistoric people once did. Markers in the game serve dual functions. They can be resources when paying for an action, and action - defining markers when played from your special stock. Each round, you receive new resources, move on, and explore an expanding map. Actions happen in two phases: first, hand over resources at the central campsite for action rights; then regain markers as action cubes for more actions. Many actions earn victory points, and the player with the smartest action selection and most points wins. A round has 4 phases.

How to Use: First, set up the game according to the instructions. Each player represents a pre - historic tribe. At the start, your tribe is short on food, so you'll need to travel and discover new areas. During the game, use various actions like gathering, fishing, and hunting to manage your resources. Markers can be used as resources or action - defining items. Each round has four phases. In the first action phase, give resources at the central campsite to get the right to perform actions. In the second phase, get the markers back as action cubes for more actions. Try to earn victory points through different actions. The player with the most points at the end wins. Notes: Make sure to understand the dual function of markers clearly. Read the rules carefully before starting the game. When playing, think strategically about which actions to take. Maintenance: Keep the game components in a dry and clean place. After each use, put the markers, cards, and other parts back in the box neatly to avoid losing them. If the game gets dirty, you can gently wipe the components with a soft, dry cloth.
