You take on the role of a clan leader and explore the landscape, discover new tools and offer to holy places. All this to gather as much status as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpoch: Early Inventors is very thematic and tries to stay as close to reality as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore starting the game you build a landscape of hexagonal playing cards and holy places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn your turn you can carry out 1 action and\/or develop 1 card and\/or offer to 1 holy place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can choose between the following actions: gather food, fish (for food), hunt for deer, butcher deer, explore adjacent cards or work to get raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou need food to move around the game board and develop cards. Gathering food and fishing are basically the same actions, but depending on the tools you have, the one action might give you more food than the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou need raw materials to develop cards and offer to the holy places. Sometimes raw materials can help you to heighten the proceeds of actions. The action \"Work\" can get you raw materials. The type of landscape you are currently standing on determines how much work it is to get hold of a certain raw material. Raw materials used in the game are: wood, flax, stone, flint, clay and iron ore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eButchering animals can not only get you food, but also skins, bones and tendons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring cards adds to your status. It also opens up more cards to be developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo develop a card, you need to \"pay\" the food and materials depicted on the card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce you have developed a card, you can use the tool, equipment or knowledge of this card to your advantage. E.g. Rope Making allows you to turn 2 flax into 3 ropes. Sowing gives you 2-4 extra food, when gathering food. An axe makes it easier to chop wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy cleverly using your own cards and those of your opponents, you try to offer materials to as many holy places as you can, thereby increasing your status even more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter 14-20 rounds the game is over. The player that has collected the most status has won.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RIO GRANDE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48324896325785,"sku":"655132005425","price":57.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/1669\/2121\/files\/raw_2846d787-b081-4c2f-a133-b1493bb46c2a.jpg?v=1784314209","url":"https:\/\/www.pokejeux.ca\/products\/epoch-early-inventors-special-order","provider":"POKÉ JEUX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
