You must work around the weather and the extinction of natural resources as well as negotiate deals to protect your wives while you decide between monotheism or polytheism. In this tableau-building game, you'll send your population out to hunt native species of Greenland — but some might not come back. (Historically, the climate turned frigid and all but the Thule (Inuit) died out.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the game, play takes place over six phases; all players complete each phase in turn order, then the next phase starts.
