About this deal

After 3 rounds of actions, there is an “eclipse phase” where players make a blind bid using their remaining cards. Because the game rewards chaining actions together, it’s not so important what those actions are as long as they get you more stuff, because you’ll likely find a use for that stuff. The game comes with two advanced modules that give you tiles to make the rest action better and give a random bonus to the glacier hexes. The premise of EW is that you’re managing a tribe of cave people (I’m no scientist, but this game has no pretensions towards any kind of historical or scientific fidelity), and you wanna grow that tribe, build camps, and probably lay down some big flat megalith stones.

I have not played any of the expansion materials that shipped with the game, so I cannot speak for what they might offer, but my primary criticism of the game is that for a game about surviving in a deadly winter expanse, you can’t really make much in the way of mistakes, save one: failing to chain actions. For example, the minis have a wash over them to make them look like bone, while the monolith tokens look like they’re made of stone. There are many ways to win the game, and all of them seem pretty well-balanced when executed correctly.Rather than describing each mechanism in detail, I’ll give you a basic overview of what you do on a turn. Designed by Stan Kordonskiy (Dice Hospital, Rurik, Lock Up), developed by Jonny Pac (Coloma, Sierra West, Lions of Lydia), solo mode by Drake Villareal (Solani, Spook Manor), and illustrated by The Mico (Raiders of the North Sea, Paladins of the West Kingdom, Valeria), Endless Winter: Paleoamericans takes place in North America, around 10,000 BCE. At the end of every round you’ll get resources, points, and other benefits based on which spaces you have majority in. Each round, players send their tribe members to various action spaces, and pay for the actions by playing cards and spending resources.

For example, when you move camps on the main board, you’re trying to win majority competitions for bonuses on the tiles which only trigger during the eclipse phase. id":162871083073,"handle":"all-board-games","title":"All Board Games","updated_at":"2024-01-29T19:50:03+08:00","body_html":"The whole board game library!
