About this game

My First Stone Age takes the beloved worker-placement classic and rebuilds it from the ground up for little hands. Instead of complex resource chains, you're matching memory tiles and collecting sets of prehistoric goods, mammoth tusks, berries, tools, at a pace a five-year-old can actually follow and win. The theme stays intact, cave families gathering what they need to thrive, but the decisions are simple and the sessions are short enough that nobody loses interest halfway through. A gentle, genuine on-ramp to the hobby rather than a watered-down afterthought.
