Great Gateway Game: In the stone ages, you send your village out to accomplish different things

Worker placement is essentially you being the boss, and you tell people what to do, and you do this by putting your people in different areas like hunting for food, cutting down wood, building a farm, making tools, or maybe even making some more villagers (brown chicken, brown cow) You roll the dice to see how good your workers are at the jobs you assign them. This is a great version of this genre of game, It also has an ipad app we love as well. The expansion is out of print and very expensive, but we would love to own it when it gets reprinted.

everything on the board is icons, there is no literacy needed, except for the rule book. (there are you tube videos)

frustrating not doing much at first. (3 more)

scoring is in the 3-400's feels like way too much.

currently out of print in USA

not for beginners, the game gets better the more you play and understand what's going on.

Really good game, tight choices, can't possibly do all that you want before the game ends.

Despite the slight drawbacks this is a great worker placement game. 4 players is definitely better than 2 players. There were many times I wanted a spot and someone took it before me, which is part of what makes a great worker placement game. The theme works, but isn't really important. There are many paths to victory, you just need to optimize the one you choose.

I catan't stop playing this

Great gateway game for worker placement and resource building.
There are lots of ways to win this, and plenty of replayability.
It's not overly complex and most people should be able to get the hang of this quickly.
The pieces are a little basic but they do the job they were intended for.
Great for beginners
