"While
fleeing from starving wolves and wild sabretooth tigers, will
your tribe of cavemen manage to survive in, let alone conquer,
the merciless Valley of the Mammoths? Will it escape the stampeding
woolly rhinoceroses and the massive mammoths, only to be reduced
to pate under the heavy clubs of their rival tribes? In these
chaotic times, man must fight for everything, his adversaries
are without pity, and nature herself is in a state of violent
upheaval.
Game
System In the Valley of the Mammoths, you must contend not
only with rival tribes (the other players) but also with wild,
untamed, unpredictable nature. To feed themselves, your tribe
will have to devote themselves to hunting, gathering and fishing.
They may even attempt to innovate, by developing agriculture...
But all is not so peaceful in the Valley, opposing tribes will
attempt to hunt Your mammoths and bison, to gather Your fruits
and roots, to fish your rivers and lakes... and even to steal
YOUR Women! You will have to fight them off, and protect your
food supply... all the while keeping a watchful eye on the smoldering
volcanoes - after all, one never knows! Game
Characteristics Valley of the Mammoths appeals to a broad
audience. Its theme is enjoyable, its mechanics are original and
dynamic, its rules are simple, and the artwork and cards are utterly
hilarious! - who could ask for more? Plunge into prehistory! You'll
have fun. So will the mammoths."
