About this game

In this kind of themed "Time's up" game you have to adopt the eccentric habits of your tribe and evolve it (or fail). In a wacky environment you have to rediscover your ancestral skills such as chacoal sketching, primitive speech, miming and modeling. Help the members of your tribe guessing words and move ahead in this adventure. Give in to the primal instinct dormant in you and let it lead to your victory. Only the hominid who plays one's role and evolves correctly to the stage of Homo Sapiens will win the game. The game contains of - one game board - 12 descriptive tribal cards - 135 "Wutzdat" Cards - 1 timer - 1 charcoal stick - modelling clay - 1 list of primitive vocabulary - 1 fact booklet - 1 rules book

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 12.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
