About the game
In prehistoric times, the saber-toothed tiger clan needs a new leader – and you're in the running! In Honga, you'll gather resources, explore forests, honor gods, and even trade with other clans. But beware: Honga the hungry tiger is always eyeing your food. If you don't spend actions to distract him, he'll raid your camp and steal your precious supplies. The game blends worker placement with action points – each card you play on the central board determines how many times an action can be used, depending on its rotation. There are multiple paths to victory: focus on trade, mammoth herds, or god worship. And even though it's a family game (ages 8+), the decision-making is quite engaging. Player interaction is light, but Honga's constant pressure keeps everyone on their toes!
