Z-Man Games ZMG71260 Stone Age Board Game

This is a great game, very straightforward and quite accessible for a wide age group, definitely suitable for families with older children.The majority of the components don't require you to read details which I know is a plus for some people.As far as the gameplay goes it's relatively easy to grasp, you have a starting number of villagers (this number can increase) and you can assign villagers to perform tasks, this includes hunting, gaining building materials, increasing farm size, adding village members, building structures and completing activity cards.As you complete tasks and make buildings you get victory points and the person, after the end game effects occur, with the most points is the winner.The components are of a high quality overall, including: resources made of shaped wood (food & tool tokens are made of card), the buildings and cards are of decent quality with nice artwork, the villagers are shaped so are unique for the game, player boards are clear and suitable to use, 1st player marker (looks odd to me personally but is a nice touch), a leather dice shaker with wooden dice (14mm in size) and the game board is really nice looking too.It's worth noting that each turn you're required to feed your villagers, which I know is a pain for some people, but this is only a issue early on so how you control your resources is important.I'm aware that the price, depending on where you buy, is a little off putting but I've really enjoyed this game and I believe this is a good family game that can be used to play games with people who rarely boardgame.

This is a great game that is much simpler to play than it first appears. I taught it to 3 other gamers recently and after a couple of turns had full knowledge of what they were doing, what did what and so on. I've yet to try it with cildren, but I don't see to many issues with it their either. Good fun and a brilliant way to fill a hour or so.

So glad this game got a reprint, was desperate to buy but everywhere seemed to be selling for £100+ or in a different language. However after receiving my English copy i can confirm that any language copy would be fine as only rule book and box would be affected.

Probably one of the best worker placement games since Lords of waterdeep, great with 2-4 players the numbers don't take away. very easy to teach and I love that the civ cards can make your opponent think about their next moves very quickly!

This game is very well made, wooden resources, high quality board, etc. It took us about 90mins to play with three players (one aged 7). The game is well balnced and you are never quite sure who is going to win until final points counting at the end. The resource building is good fun and no one is "out" or obviously losing. Also good with 2 players.

Absolutely brilliant game! Love the idea of the game and family does too

Great game... The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because the instructions could be written a little clearer. There is no mention of whether or not resources can be used in the same round in which they are acquired (though I'm assuming yes).Get it, you won't regret it!

Really simple to pick up and play, but with much more depth and strategy the more times you play. Love this game
