Description
Travel to the past with Jonon and Jada, two stone age children, to rediscover how the first humans settled the world around them.
In My First Stone Age, a children's version of the Stone Age family game, the players collect goods and build their own settlement.
Players first explore the location of forest tokens surrounding the village. Flipping a forest token over indicates the movement of the player's meeple to an action spot on the board. Gather or trade resources, visit the construction site or get a helper token for the kid's dog Guff who will fetch any resource when it's time to build a hut. The construction site is where huts can be build. Each requires a different set of resources. A visit the to construction site also resets the forest tokens: Flip the tokens back over and swap a couple of them to introduce some challenge.
Use your memory to find the fastest paths to gather resources and built 3 huts before everyone else to be the winner of My First Stone Age.
