Cro-Magnon: First Steps of Civilization (2019)

About this game

Cro-Magnon is a card game which'll put you in a position of a prehistoric human tribal chief. Your tribe will need to develop new technologies, gather valuable resources and build new tools. Go to battle with your neighbors — or cooperate and hunt together. Strive for great achievements and become the first major human settlement on the whole planet. During the game players perform actions to obtain resource cards, which are then used to develop new technologies. Technologies unlock new, more productive actions and grant victory points to their owners. The player with the most victory points wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
