Valley of the Mammoths
While fleeing from starving wolves and wild sabretooth tigers, will your tribe of cavemen manage to survive in, let alone conquer, the merciless Valley of the Mammoths? Will it escape the stampeding woolly rhinoceroses and the massive mammoths, only to be reduced to paté under the heavy clubs of their rival tribes? In these chaotic times, man must fight for everything, his adversaries are without pity, and nature herself is in a state of violent upheaval.
What is Valley of the Mammoths
While fleeing from starving wolves and wild sabretooth tigers, will your tribe of cavemen manage to survive in, let alone conquer, the merciless Valley of the Mammoths? Will it escape the stampeding woolly rhinoceroses and the massive mammoths, only to be reduced to paté under the heavy clubs of their rival tribes? In these chaotic times, man must fight for everything, his adversaries are without pity, and nature herself is in a state of violent upheaval.
In Valley of the Mammoths, you must contend not only with rival tribes (the other players) but also with wild, untamed, unpredictable nature. To feed themselves, your tribe will have to devote themselves to hunting, gathering and fishing. They may even attempt to innovate by developing agriculture... But all is not peaceful in the Valley, opposing tribes will attempt to hunt YOUR bison & mammoths, to gather YOUR fruits & roots, to fish YOUR rivers & lakes... and to even steal YOUR WOMEN! You will have to fight them off, and protect your food supply... all the while keeping a watchful eye on the smoldering volcanoes - after all, one never knows.

What the community says about Valley of the Mammoths
Es un juego ambientado en la prehistoria. Cada jugador gestiona una tribu. El objetivo es conseguir cuatro asentamientos en el mapa. Cada jugador debe gestionar su tribu de manera que se asegure su progreso y su supervivencia. A medida que crece la tribu, mayor necesidad de comida.. que se obtiene a partir de los animales que van apareciendo en cada turno, y a partir de la explotación de recursos naturales. Hay posibilidad de eliminación de jugadores. Pueden ocurrir todo tipo de eventos que echen por tierra cualquier planificación.... así que no es un juego ajedrecístico. La suerte tiene basta
