What is Paleo
Paleo is a co-operative adventure game set in the stone age, a game in which players try to keep the human beings in their care alive while completing missions. Sometimes you need a fur, sometimes a tent, but these are all minor quests compared to your long-term goal: Painting a woolly mammoth on the wall so that humans thousands of years later will know that you once existed. (Okay, you just think the mammoth painting looks cool. Preserving a record of your past existence is gravy.)
What might keep you from painting that mammoth? Death, in all its many forms.
Each player starts the game with a couple of humans, who each have a skill and a number of life points. On a turn, each player chooses to go to one location — possibly of the same type as other players, although not the same location — and while you have some idea of what you might find there, you won't know for sure until you arrive, at which point you might acquire food or resources, or find what you need to craft a useful object, or discover that you can help someone else in their project, or suffer a snakebite that brings you close to death. Life is full of both wonders and terrors...
At the day's end, you need food for all the people in your party as well as various crafts or skills that allow you to complete quests. Failure to do so adds another skull on the tote board, and once you collect enough of those, you decide that living is for fools and give up the ghost, declaring that future humans can just admire someone else, for all you care.

What the community says about Paleo
Me encanta conceptualmente el rollito prehistoria. Sin duda lo mejor de este juego cooperativo es jugar sin conocer nada y ver que son las cosas que te van apareciendo y averiguar como crees que se harán las cosas que te hacen ganar la partida sin tener ni puta idea.

Such a experience in cooperatives! I like when a game gets into that logic that I always look for, like keeping your tribe alive by providing them food rations everyday. The day you can't feed them, you lose 1 live The need to survive forces you to explore to get food, and the way to explore is through cards. Every card gives you the chance of helping others, gather some materials or craft tools. In a ludic way, this is the simplicity I want in a game. For being my first play I didn't manage well the collection stuff. So basically if you don't get a balance you'll probably be dead soon as a

Paleo is like taking a survival videogame, synthesizing it to the maximum, designing an increasing difficulty by chapters (which happens the other way around in survival videogames) and making it a board game. I usually prefer the videogame version in these cases, but Paleo synthesizes and adds its own touches in a very good way. The setup is nice and original, I love how the workshop is constantly changing and can evolve, there is also here the feeling of constant surprise and not knowing what awaits you, the group decisions, although light, increasingly take more strength and complexity, an
