Description

In Neanderthal, you'll embark on a journey through Ice Age Europe, navigating the challenges of 43,000 BC as one of three human species. You'll assign your males to hunt massive Pleistocene megafauna, all while avoiding predators and assigning your women to teach your children vital vocabulary skills. As you progress, you'll specialize your elders in key areas like fire, war, and inventions, and choose a mating strategy that will impact your chances of victory. With a playtime of 60 to 120 minutes, Neanderthal offers a deeply immersive experience for 1 to 3 players. While the rules may take some time to learn, the payoff is well worth it. By the end of the game, you'll have developed your tribe to the point where you can seamlessly flow into the companion game Greenland, continuing your journey through the ages.
