Meat for the tribe

As the leader of a Neolithic tribe you use character cards for tribe members who scout the hunting grounds for meat and furs and bring recourses from the wilderness for useful items.

For your turn you have the choice from three options for actions and implement one of them:

Play a character card – you implement the instruction from the card and then place the card into the row in the display with fewest cards. Instructions on the card relate to placement of tribal members, at Sacred Locations you can drive off your opponent by placing more tribesmen and use the location advantage.

Recall tribal members – each recalled man brings a resource from the card of his location. Those resources are marked by being covered and are instantly spent: For each covered meat symbol you can discard one hunger token; for two furs you can put a new tribal member into the cave and later enter him into the game with the “Offspring” card; for other resources you display the respective item card.

The third option is an interim scoring at sundown: For each tribal member on the tribe card and location cards you score one point and have to deduct one point for each hunter token. If someone achieves a score of 24 points, you win at the end of the round with most points. There are rules for an introductory game, a standard game and the version Fight for Survival.

Pure tactics, the small chance factor of drawing cards is negligible; the game offers several strategies to score points and lets you play for yourself or also actively influence the options of your opponent. A very well-made extension for the genre of Games for Two.
