Stone Age

The "Stone Age" times were hard indeed. In their roles as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers, our ancestors worked with their legs and 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 and more productive plants to make their work more effective.

What is Stone Age

The "Stone Age" times were hard indeed. In their roles as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers, our ancestors worked with their legs and 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 and 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 and wash their gold from the river. They trade freely, expand their village and so achieve new levels of civilization. With a balance of luck and 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 take turns placing their tribe members in regions of the board that they think will benefit them, including the hunt, the trading center, or the quarry. In the second phase, each player activates each of their staffed areas in whatever sequence they choose, in turn order. In the third phase, players must have enough food available to feed their populations, or they face losing resources or points.

Un juego de colocación de trabajadores muy rápido de aprender, es divertido y el uso de dados no estropea la mecánica euro, de hecho le da un toque de tensión muy agradable. Se juega mejor a 4 jugadores.

[ESP] Para mí este debe ser el juego de entrada para colocación de trabajadores, incluso lo pondría para iniciar a nuevos jugadores. Reglas que se entienden rápido, dados para los que gustan del azar y cierto control del mismo teniendo más troglomeeples y/o herramientas.

de 2 a 4, tablero El Agricola pero mas suave, sin ese estress de "no me da tiempo!" A los 10 minutos ya sabes jugar completamente. La unica pega es que el puntaje es una incertidumbre hasta el final.

Very similar to Pillars of the Earth, a different setting and some differences, that make a different game, but a similar feeling. The end conditions can make the game a bit long. Nice components.

Juego ligero de iniciación pero muy adictivo. Se coge enseguida la idea y puede servir para meter a gente en esto de los juegos. Incluso siendo veterano son muy entretenidas las partidas y puede ser un ligero reto. Sólo he jugado online.

De mis favoritos, he jugado vaarios de colocación de trabajadores y este sigue siendo de los más divertidos, aveces es tardado si los demás no se concentran en agarrar cartas o completar las casitas ya que esa es la manera en la que termina el juego pero es divertido 👌🏼
