More
than a thousand years before the great city of Carcassonne was
built, the area was settled by stone-age tribes. These people
hunted wild animals, gathered nuts and berries, and caught fish
in the nearby streams to provide themselves with the basics. Even
today, there remain fantastic cave paintings and archaeological
finds that provide evidence of their existence and give us an
understanding of their lives.
As
with Carcassonne, the game of the year in Germany in 2001, the
players play land tiles to create a beautiful landscape, with
scattered wild animals like mammoths and saber-toothed tigers.
They populate the landscape with hunters and gatherers and build
huts to live in. Rivers, filled with fish, snake through the landscape.
The game also includes rare, but very useful special cards. There
are many new things to discover in this prehistoric Carcassonne.
Carcassonne:
Hunters and Gatherers is brand new tile game, but retains the
challenge, fun, and excitement of the original Carcassonne. Players
who know Carcassonne will pick up this new game quickly. Others
will learn it as quickly as players learned and loved the original.
