Wendake

Wendake (2017) takes you to the Great Lakes region in the years 1756–1763, to the villages, fields and forests of the Wyandot, also known as the Huron Nation, and their neighbors. The Seven Years' War between the French and the English is only a marginal aspect; the focus is on everyday life, traditions and trade. You live in longhouses, farm beans, corn and pumpkins, and hunt beavers in the forests for pelts to sell. It is a worker placement game with set collection, area majority and hidden victory points, plus variable player powers for each tribe. It is a heavier euro for one to four players, about two hours, and the theme gets real respect.
