Fire & Stone

2022 · Exploration

Fire & Stone

Players lead a Stone Age tribe by scouting new lands, harvesting resources and building villages. Scouts explore a board of face-down discovery tokens; revealing a token triggers an immediate effect and later becomes an action option with an altered effect. Players gather nuts, mushrooms and other resources, develop new tools and techniques such as shipbuilding or pottery, and construct huts to score points. The game rewards exploration, resource management and task completion; the player with the most victory points from villages and accomplished tasks wins.

    Good theme, but way too much luck involved. At least it's over very fast. Way too complicated for a family game.

    There's quite a bit of luck in this game, but it was still fun! Would like to see more variety in the technology and starting cards. Also, the cave card didn't come into play in our game.
