What this is
Prehistoric tribes struggle to survive and adapt. Which one will rise to the top. 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. With a balance of luck and planning, the players compete for food in this pre-historic time.
