Approximately five thousand years ago, resilient farmers and hunters built a thriving community on the Orkney Islands, in northern Scotland. Instead of discarding their empty shells, broken tools, bones, and other waste, they used them to form large mounds of earth over centuries. Subsequent generations dug into these piles of refuse to create a series of rooms and tunnels, sheltering themselves from strong winds and harsh winter months.
The goal of Skara Brae is to gather various resources to feed, clothe, and shelter a growing number of settlers. Players take turns drawing cards and using their workers to furnish, cook, craft, clean, and trade. At the end of each round, players must provide for their settlers and will likely create more refuse to clean up. After four rounds, the player with the most victory points wins.
Highlights:
- Original thematic strategy game
- A game as only Shem Phillips can make!
