Overview

CAVEMAN: can your tribe survive? is a survival game where your objective is to become the dominant tribe on Volcano Island. It's a harsh world, where marauding dinosaurs cause chaos, other tribes attack you, and you struggle to help your cave kids survive into adulthood. Players start from the corner spaces of a hexagonal island, and slowly spread out over the island, looking for resources to help them survive and prosper. The winner is the first player to either expand their population to eight adults, collect all five available resource types, or the player who has made the most progress when the action card deck expires.
