Who it's for

Players ready to step beyond gateway games into worker placement. Great for families with older kids and groups who want strategic decisions without overwhelming complexity.

Not for you if…

Dice-based resource gathering frustrates players who want full control. Experienced euro gamers may find it too introductory.

About this game

Stone Age is a worker placement game where players send tribe members to gather resources, build huts, and advance civilization. Dice determine resource collection, adding a push-your-luck element to strategic planning as you balance feeding your growing tribe.
