Endless Winter: Paleoamericans

Endless Winter: Paleoamericans

This is the Dutch-language edition. With the new board game Endless Winter you travel back to 10,000 years before Christ. As you play, you take on the role of one of several tribal leaders who guide their tribes through different eras. At the start of Endless Winter you are in charge of a hunter-gatherer group, which you have to help develop into a civilised tribal community during the game. You do this by exploring, migrating, expanding your tribe, hunting big game and building megaliths, large stone structures.

Each round of Endless Winter goes through three different phases: the action phase, the eclipse phase and the new generation phase. The action phase consists of playing various cards and carrying out actions. Examples of actions are hunting and developing. Every action you take brings your tribe one step further. In the first phase you also prepare for the eclipse phase. In the Stone Age, astronomical events happened regularly and led to great struggles between different tribes. After such events a new generation took over from the old one, which happens in the third phase of the game. Once these three phases have been carried out, a new round starts in which you develop your tribe.

The points handed out during Endless Winter are awarded at the end of the game in several areas. The animal, tribe and culture cards you have collected are counted, together with the offering track and the honour track. Whoever has collected the most points at the end of the game has managed to lead their tribe to prosperity and wins the game.
