Stone Age
A family-sized worker placement game with dice, huts and a constant need for dinner.
What it is
You place workers to gather food, wood, clay, stone and gold, then roll a die for each one to see what comes back. Resources buy buildings and civilization cards, and those cards hold most of the surprises at final scoring. Everyone must be fed after each round. It suits families who want a first step into worker placement and do not mind some luck.
What we love
- It is easy to teach and works for newcomers and experienced players alike.
- Tools soften bad rolls, so planning still counts.
- Civilization card sets can add 30 to 50 points or more at the end.
Honest trade-offs
- Dice luck can swing the outcome sharply.
- The first few rounds can feel routine.
- Some building tiles are simply better than others.
