Tusk!: Surviving the Ice Age (2022)

About this game

It's a race against time as the Ice Age approaches. You will need strength and food to survive and lots of it. The mammoth offers your tribes food beyond your wildest dreams, but they are powerful beasts. In Tusk!, you and your fellow players will need to team up to hunt successfully — but there can be only one master of the hunt, and to ensure that's you and your tribe, you need to manipulate alliances, horde supplies, and make use of the land's many resources to become the most powerful tribe. The game ends when snow covers the entire playing area, and the tribe with the most food wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
