The Game

Welcome to the game. You are now a (wo)man of the caves. You have also now realized how exhausting that can be. May luck be on your side as you defeat your opponents and head to Stoney Island for a hard earned Caveman Vacation.

The Box Cover

The front and back of our board game features a youthful design and character descriptions of our four cavemen warriors: Rokko, Ussu, Igo, and Da.

The Board Guide

Collect five (5) of each food in order to trade for a weapon. The perfect Caveman Thanksgiving consists of none other than fresh fruit, rice, dodo birds, and yak meat. Bone Appleteeth.

The Rules

It’s a yak eat yak world out there so be the first to make it to the center at Stoney Island. Roll the dice to walk forwards or backwards on the stepping stones leading straight into your enemy’s cave; wage war and steal their tools like the hunter gatherer you are. Collect one of each tool to head to the island and rock on.

The Cards

Legend has it Trader Joe only made it to Pasadena by braving the Dodo Desert and trading five dodo birds all for a bow and arrow. You will have to do the same. You will also need a basket, a scythe, and a spear.

The Board

Behold the Fruity Forest, the Rice Riverlands, the Dodo Desert, and the Meaty Mountains. Where will you begin?

The Cavepeople

One of these cavemen (or women) is your next champion. Three of these cavemen (or women) will just become another hieroglyph on the wall. Choose wisely.
