Cons

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — A new action board is introduced that allows players to fill in dots and draw connections.
- Asymmetric Player Powers — The cave painting boards are double-sided, with one side being the same for all players (mammoth) and the other side corresponding to a specific tribe, offering strategic differences.
- Dry-erase board — Each player receives a dry-erase board to draw on, which is double-sided with different options for tribes.
- Eclipse phase — The expansion makes the eclipse phase more viable and offers opportunities for combos, with benefits gained from the cave painting board impacting this phase.
- route/network building — Players draw connections between dots to form shapes and score points for the longest contiguous line.
- Set Collection — Players collect benefits like torches and lightning bolts by filling in shapes on their cave painting board, which can then be used for immediate or eclipse phase benefits.
- Worker Placement — The 'painter' character provides an extra half-labor, and going to the cave painting section provides an extra half-labor and food, impacting action efficiency.
