Catan: Dawn of Humankind, AKA Settlers of the Stone Age — How to Play 🎲 and Is It a Gem? 💎

Description provided by Board Gems on YouTube:

Picture the island of Catan, but it's not an island, it's the world! That might be the elevator pitch, but there's a lot more to this spin-off. Players start with settlements in Africa and will send out explorers to start new settlements throughout the rest of the world. To reach new lands, though, one will have to improve on a number of tracks. And there's the ever-present Neanderthal and smilodon who, like the robber in the original, will take their share. The Settlers of the Stone Age was a spin-off of the massive global hit The Settlers of Catan, both designed by Klaus Teuber. 20 years later, we have Catan: Dawn of Humankind, a new edition, with updated art and a bit faster gameplay tweaked by Teuber's son Benjamin (who also has credits for Catan scenarios and Catan: Brotherhood of the Watch). The core gameplay is the same. 00:00 Intro ▶️ 04:05 Setup ♟️ 09:02 How to Play 🎲 22:52 Is It a Gem? 💎 Board Gems highlights older board and card games that are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten!
