## Description
If you thought life in the Stone Age was tough enough, get ready for a new concern: fashion! Stone Age: The Expansion brings a touch of style to your tribe, introducing the crafting of jewelry and ornaments. Now, besides building huts and hunting, your cavemen can adorn themselves with necklaces and other finery, transforming raw materials into true works of art (or at least, something that impresses the matriarch!).

This expansion not only adds a new action location in the village, perfect for trading your new creations, but also brings new cards and huts to diversify your strategies. And for those who enjoy playing with more people, the good news is that you can now expand the game to up to five players, increasing competition and interaction among the tribes.

With new scoring opportunities and a greater focus on resource management to create luxury items, the expansion maintains the essence of the base game but adds an extra layer of complexity and fun. It's a chance to 'upgrade' your tribe's look and dominate not just by strength, but also by style! Get your dice and workers ready, because the Stone Age just got more charming and challenging.
