Description
Each player plays as a clan leader and has to secretly and wisely play a card from their hand, representing a member of their tribe, to try to take over some territories. Strategy and timing will be crucial for scoring! The player that scores the most points after 9 rounds wins the game.
Subcontinent of Vaalbara, Neolithic era. Your tribe sets out to explore uncharted lands in order to establish sedentary villages. Use the various talents of your tribe to optimize your development, expand your territory and enforce your hegemony!
All players have the same deck of 12 cards representing the members of their tribe. Each turn, players choose secretly one card. In the order of initiative of the revealed Characters, players will be able to activate their powers and take over one of the available Territories. Each type of Territory has its own way of scoring points (collection, pair, diversity, risk…). Deciding between playing the best powers and high initiatives at the most opportune moment will be difficult. After 9 rounds, the player with the most points wins the game and unites the tribes of the continent under their banner!

Quotes (from this video)
- there were a number of different ways to engine build and work towards you know you could get lots of large workers so you had lots of choice of actions or you could get lots of incomes but it ended up being a really tight battle on that tile placement the Army Warrior placement board
- it's the type of Cooperative that no Alpha player can take control
- the way you draft them here you've got so many things to think about
- it's a brilliant release
- this is the best real-time game there is because there's very few rules and that means you don't have to stop and ask each other the rules all the time
- it's highly interactive you look at other opponents what they are close to you can also steal one of their
- this is actually going to sound like quite an understated review because there's nothing there's not much new here this is a five action Euro it's got a map it's got a um you know it's got a track it's got all the sorts of things said collection nothing really new
- the dice drafting you mentioned before each die that you take it's going to have a color which tells you how many resources which tells you what resource you get it's going to have a number which tells you how many of that resource you'll get and it dictates what action the dye is connected to and the action points you'll get is equal to 7 minus the number on the die
- the map is really tight once people have built in locations it really blocks others out and that's a lot it's a lot tighter than I'm used to seeing these days on Euro map boards and it was what made it stand out
- what I like about this is that it's combo your egg combo your actions of other players back of cards
- you've always dropped like the risk yeah you've always got the risk if you're just waiting for that one little extra thing to come into someone's hand you've got that risk that they all get

Quotes (from this video)

- it's basically the war game version of King of Tokyo and I think there's space in the world for that
- 95 of the time people just write insults on those cards and it's hilarious
- this game is so fun A puzzly beautiful and brutal game
- it's also vicious I played this I really liked Cape May I thought it was a lot of fun and it is very lovely looking but it's also area control and you've got to get the right things at the right time you gotta handle your money and you've got to make sure that there's a bunch of stuff going on and it's just a Cutthroat game that's he's vicious and violent but it does look lovely as well
- Meadow in general might be the best looking game in that genre
- I feel like I've missed the boat with alcohol the card game that there's just too much out there too much release
- the components are absolutely fantastic the player board is so well designed with little indents for each movable past I feel like this game is one where the production quality really enhances the experience

Quotes (from this video)
- We don't Need Another Hero my name is Marty
- I can't believe how fast the other 75 went I was really surprised
- we are such Geeks it is so sad

- I will say that's one thing about an app Marty that it can hurt you because you don't understand the nuances of a game
- The beauty of the app is it just basically I played it up Oh I thought I would get more victory points than that nope oh well who cares and I would move on
- I think I would put this on the table and this is blasphemy I know it is more than Twilight Struggle if I owned a copy
- It's that you lose you lose whoever forces the the Defcon want to occur
- well I ran out of this space on my stupid PlayStation so I gotta go get one of those
- I just know this after this they better get started working on the Elder Scrolls because that's what I want
