Set about 50,000 years B.C. in an age of hunter gathers, and the last of the strange large mammals, such as Woolly Mammoths, Sabre-tooth Tigers and Giant Birds, the game is a mixture of board games and wargames Using a mixture of Metal Miniatures, Resin Buildings, Cards and Counters.

At the beginning of the game, all the players start with the same amount of pieces and the basic idea of the game is to grow your settlement faster than the other players, buying Figures and Buildings with game tokens as you go along, hopefully avoiding Natural Disasters and other unforeseen incidents.

The game can be played by 2 or 4 players and is for Ages 14 and up and is fun for families as well as boardgamers & wargamers. A great deal of time and effort was put into the design of the game pieces, which are very detailed. The same figures are used for each different tribe, which are just painted differently. Spears & Shields are cast separately, but come with the figures that they are intended for.

The rules are well printed complete with a color cover, and are packed with black & white illustrations. The game tokens are printed in color, on white card.
