The "Stone Age" times were hard indeed. In their roles as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers, our ancestors worked with their legs and backs straining against wooden plows in the stony earth. Of course, progress did not stop with the wooden plow. People always searched for better tools and more productive plants to make their work more effective.

In Stone Age, the players live in this time, just as our ancestors did. They collect wood, break stone and wash their gold from the river. They trade freely, expand their village and so achieve new levels of civilization. With a balance of luck and planning, the players compete for food in this pre-historic time.

Players use up to ten tribe members each in three phases. In the first phase, players place their men in regions of the board that they think will benefit them, including the hunt, the trading center, or the quarry. In the second phase, the starting player activates each of his staffed areas in whatever sequence he chooses, followed in turn by the other players. In the third phase, players must have enough food available to feed their populations, or they face losing resources or points.

Family Classic

This is so simple to teach, has beautiful art, fun of dice rolling combined with multiple strategies. Keeps coming back to the table with great success at 2 and 3 player counts. We are also now much faster at finishing the game. It really feels like a classic design.

Fun, simple, accessible, charming game. Not a lot of replay value or deep strategy.

I was tempted to give this game 3 stars because it's not quite deep enough for my preferences, but I was also tempted to give it 5 stars because it's one of the best, most fun games for people looking for this level of game. I split the difference and gave it 4 stars. It can be a little frustrating how much luck is a factor, but that also helps the game zip along because you don't have much information to go on so there's nothing to give you analysis paralysis. Every once in a while I catch myself thinking for a minute or more on a turn and then I'm like, "Come on Luke, it's not that type of game." Which is a fun change of pace for someone who usually plays much heavier games. It's also a beautiful game and a cute theme, which can make a big difference. There aren't that many different strategies to explore. Just plan a move or two ahead, make productive moves, go with the best options the game gives you, and try to play the odds of the dice.
