FIRE AND STONE
A paleolithic playground of discovery
Designer: Klaus-Jurgen Wrede | Publisher: Pegasus Spiele
Fire and Stone is a two to four player game of stone age exploration and expansion from the famed designer of Carcassonne, Klaus Jurgen-Wrede. Over the course of a variable number of rounds, players will be hunting, gathering, inventing, and settling as they strive to net the most victory points. Points will be granted for every hut placed on the map – with bonuses for majorities and fulfilling personal goals – alongside any points snatched from a dwindling deck of gradually less valuable cards.
Immediately, the game represents a significant departure from the designer’s tile-laying classic in terms of its scope. Yet, despite this increased volume of both components and mechanics, Fire and Stone strives for a level of simplicity potentially suited to players looking to take a step up from Carcassonne and other gateway classics.
