About the Game

In the spring of 5000 BCE, you are one of the first neolithic farmers of Europe, and you have to cooperate with the other players in this turn based game to survive. The turns are seasonal, and each Season has 5 Phases, and every player completes a Phase before going to the next Phase. The Phases are (1) flip a Forecast and choose your single Action for the Season, (2) flip more Tiles as indicated by the Action and perform the Action, (3) your Domestic Animals fight it out with invading Pests and Predators, and (4) Advance your Fields and the Season. Then go to the next Season. The harsh snowbound winter will soon return, and you need to hunt, gather, fish, trap, and plant to stay alive. Keep your crops safe from hungry rats and insects that infest your fields and silos. Choose to either domesticate or hunt bigger animals to avoid starvation and survive the winter.
