Tribes: Dawn of Humanity

Players lead a prehistoric tribe from the Stone Age toward the Bronze Age in short, fast turns. Each turn a player chooses actions from a rotating display—grow, explore, or move—taking the first action for free and paying shells for additional actions, then placing the used action at the end of the display. Tribes expand into unexplored territory, gather resources, and unlock inventions that grant victory points and enhance future actions such as exploration range, population growth, and movement. Players balance shell economy, respond to events like natural disasters, and develop tactics to maximize their tribe’s progress over the course of the game.

    Buena mecánica de las piedras de acciones pero una vez lo vas jugando no te preocupes por conseguir tarea, podras subir igual. Fue demasiado familiar y falto de tensión...bostezos por doquier.
