It's 43;000 BC in Ice Age Europe; the dawn of modern man. In Neanderthal; you are one of three human species: Archaic; Neanderthal; or Cro-Magnon. Assign your males to hunt Pleistocene megafauna; but try to avoid being eaten by predators. Assign your women for teaching your children vocabulary; leading to cognitive fluidity in the next generation and to a tribalistic culture. Specialize your elders for fire; war; big game; inventions; or animal domestications. Choose between three mating strategies: promiscuous; harems; or pair bonding. Victory depends on which strategy you choose; and may include your hunters; elders; women; vocabulary; trophies; inventions; or domesticated animals.At this point; the players have developed to the point where the companion game Greenland begins; so you can flow one game into another seamlessly.
