Neanderthal
It's 43,000 BC in Ice Age Europe, the dawn of modern man. In Neanderthal, you are one of three human species: Archaic, Neanderthal, or Cro-Magnon. Assign your males to hunt Pleistocene megafauna, but try to avoid being eaten by predators. Assign your women for teaching your children vocabulary, leading to cognitive fluidity in the next generation and to a tribalistic culture. Specialize your elders for fire, war, big game, inventions, or animal domestications. Choose between three mating strategies: promiscuous, harems, or pair bonding. Victory depends on which strategy you choose, and may include your hunters, elders, women, vocabulary, trophies, inventions, or domesticated animals.

At this point, the players have developed to the point where the companion game Greenland begins, so you can flow one game into another seamlessly.

What the community says about Neanderthal
en mecatol sin enfundar
Con dos partidas, de momento es un juego recomendable. Es un juego que te pide conocerlo, hay que conocer los mecanismos y el funcionamiento del juego, hay dos partes diferenciadas, el juego es narrativo y va generando una historia, pero por otro lado las mecánicas a veces se hacen inservibles al ir avanzando en post de la narratividad. Personalmente es un juego que me ha encantado por ser tan temático e interesante, el desarrollo y evolución de lo que somos siempre me ha parecido interesante y aquí está bien llevado en contraposición a juegos anteriores del mismo tema de Eklund como Origin
