In Mammoth Hunters, you play as an Ice Age hunter trying to take down one of these giants to feed your tribe for weeks. But beware, you're not alone in this hunt! Other hunters are after the same prize, and territorial disputes are inevitable. With area majority and hand management mechanics, you'll need strategy and a bit of luck (or a good club) to come out on top. The game is part of the renowned Alea Big Box series, ensuring quality and fun for groups of 3 to 5 players. Get ready for a prehistoric adventure full of tension and crucial decisions!
