Description
In the Great Plains, two players compete for dominance over the vast, open spaces of the prehistoric world. This abstract strategy game is easy to learn, but don't let that fool you - with its unique blend of mechanics like area majority, grid movement, and modular board, it's a challenge to master. Players use the help of the spiritual animal world to overcome hills, cross lowlands, and invade each other's territory, all in the quest to become the tribe that will live on. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Great Plains is a quick but intense game that's perfect for a head-to-head showdown. Designed by Trevor Benjamin and Brett J. Gilbert, and published in 2021, this game is a fresh take on the territory building genre. Whether you're a fan of prehistoric settings or just looking for a new strategic challenge, Great Plains is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and competitive game.
