Heather here....
OK so I have been thinking about my top 10 games and of course I have to add Stone Age to the list!
The basis of this game is that you live in the Stone Age (imagine that) and are trying to master the art of agriculture, process resources, and build huts.
So each round is broken down into 3 Phases:
1. Play your people on the board (you can place one or more at a time, depending on where it is)
2. Use the actions of your placed people
3. Feed your people
Here's a part that makes it fun! You can almost never place all of your people where you want them to go. Here's how and where you can place them:
*The starting player starts. Every round the starting player changes.
Phase 1: They can place one person on the tool maker, 2 people on the hut (the baby makin' hut), 1 player in the field, as many people as they want in the field to hunt for food, up to 7 people in the forest, clay pit, quarry, and river, 1 person per each civilization card and 1 person per building (hut). Once they place one or more people (depending on where they put it) the next player puts one or more people into one place until everyone has placed all of their people.
Phase 2: So the tool maker gets you a tool that starts with a value of 1. This tool helps when you roll dice. If you needed a total of 18 with the dice but only got 17, if you had one tool you could use that to bump you up to 18. Only one person per round can get a tool.
*The baby makin' hut gets you one extra person. Only one player can place 2 people here per round.
*The field gets you one extra food for your people. At the end of the round you need to feed your people so having one extra food you would only need 5 food if you had 6 people.
*The hunting field gets you food. You get one die per person you have in the field. You then total your die roll and divide by 2. That's how many food you get.
*The forest, clay pit, quarry, and river are similar to the hunting field. There can only be a total of 7 people on each one of these resources. You roll a die for each person you have in that resource and then divide. But the forest is divided by 3, the clay pit divided by 4, the quarry divided by 5 and the river divided by 6. So it's harder to get more of the other resources.
*Civilization cards get you extra goodies. Those can be extra points, food, or resources.
*Buildings get you extra points.
Phase 3: Feed your people.
Whoever has the highest score at the end wins!
SO make babies, get tools, get points, get resources, get food. Simple. Easy. Fun.
