Prehistories

In the thrilling board game Prehistories, you'll step into the prehistoric era. Send your bravest hunters to track down animals in the valley. Then, call on your shaman to paint your hunting achievements on the cave walls. Speed matters as it lets you pick your prey first, but strength is key to landing the best catch. However, beware of the risk of wounds that could weaken your entire clan! The first player to convey the elders' wishes through paintings wins the game. Set up the game by placing Animal tiles on the main board and choosing the game objectives. Each player selects 12 cards from their chosen clan, places their cave and corresponding Totem tokens in front of them, and draws the first three cards as their starting hand. To collect an Animal tile, you need to reach the lowest value next to it. Players simultaneously pick hunters from their hand. The player with the lowest total plays first as their hunters are the fastest, while the one with the highest total plays last but can hunt more or bigger animals. Yet, due to their slower speed, there might be nothing left to hunt. During the hunting phase, you can choose to hunt with or without getting wounded. Reach the value indicated by the green arrow with your hunter cards, and you'll hunt successfully without a wound. Collect the Animal Tile and draw two clan cards to refill your hand. Reach the lower value shown by the orange arrow, and you'll hunt successfully but get wounded. Collect the tile and return weakened, drawing only one clan card. Two or more wounds mean no card draw on your next turn. After the hunt, the Shaman will paint your achievements by placing the collected Animal Tiles in your cave. Paint skillfully to meet the elders' wishes set at the start of the game. Plan your hunts accordingly. When you complete an objective, place the required Totem tokens on the corresponding card.
