In this board game you will play through the critical epoch during which this change occurred. After millions of years of an uninterrupted, modest nomadic existence, we suddenly developed complex language, began forming tribes and building villages. You play as one of the human species existing at that time. The game system enables you to follow your tribe's evolution as well as that of the environment in which you live.
Explore Humanity's Evolution in Neanderthal: A Strategic Board Game
The Ice Age is brutal. Culture is your only advantage.
Looking for a survival strategy board game set in the Ice Age? In Neanderthal, you lead an ancient tribe, Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons or Archaic Homo sapiens. They fight for survival in a harsh, frozen world. Hunting giant Ice Age animals is only part of the challenge. Your true advantage? The ability to develop language, pass on knowledge, and form a lasting culture.
Why should you purchase Neanderthal?
• Play as real prehistoric human species: Compete with asymmetric powers and survival challenges
• Language and culture as core mechanics: Develop communication to unlock powerful abilities
• Hand-management meets evolutionary strategy: Use cards to teach, hunt, and pass on knowledge
• Historically grounded Ice Age setting: Hunt megafauna and endure the cold in a realistic, thematic world
