Stone Age
- Board Game
- Z-Man Games. The Stone Age times were hard indeed. In their roles as hunters, collectors, farmers, & tool makers, our ancestors worked with their legs & backs straining against wooden plows in the stony earth. Of course, progress did not stop with the wooden plow. People always searched for better tools & more productive plants to make their work more effective. In Stone Age, the players live in this time, just as our ancestors did. They collect wood, break stone & wash their gold from the river. They trade freely, expand their village & so achieve new levels of civilization. With a balance of luck & planning, the players compete for food in this pre-historic time. Players use up to ten tribe members each in three phases. In the first phase, players place their men in regions of the board that they think will benefit them, including the hunt, the trading center, or the quarry. In the second phase, the starting player activates each of his staffed areas in whatever sequence he chooses, followed in turn by the other players. In the third phase, players must have enough food available to feed their populations, or they face losing resources or points. For ages 13.
