Gamer's Guild 2024 Winter Sale!

Our ancient ancestors created images on the walls of caves to tell stories about their world and the animals they shared it with. And perhaps they - like you today - played games to make those stories come to life. A mysterious game about the not so mysterious behavior of mankind: two players compete for the dominance over the Great Plains! With help from the spiritual animal world they overcome hills, cross the lowlands and invade each other's territory in order to become the tribe who will live on. Created by the same designers who brought you Mandala and beautifully illustrated by renowned artist Klemens Franz, Great Plains lets you experience the struggle and fight of our ancestors.

The "Stone Age" times were hard indeed. In their roles as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers, our ancestors worked with their legs and backs straining against wooden plows in the stony earth. Of course, progress did not stop with the wooden plow. People always searched for better tools and more productive plants to make their work more effective. In Stone Age, the players live in this time, just as our ancestors did. They collect wood, break stone and wash their gold from the river. They trade freely, expand their village and so achieve new levels of civilization. With a balance of luck and planning, the players compete for food in this pre-historic time. Players use up to ten tribe members each in three phases. In the first phase, players place their men in regions of the board that they think will benefit them, including the hunt, the trading center, or the quarry. In the second phase, the starting player activates each of their staffed areas in whatever sequence they choose, followed in turn by the other players. In the third phase, players must have enough food available to feed their populations, or they face losing resources or points.
