Hunters & Gatherers

Hunters and Gatherers is  a dice-based tabletop style game set in the stone age.

At the start of each round, you are given 8 randomly rolled dice, with the pip values representing effort points.

Each player may assign effort points in turn to various activities with different calorie payoff structures. Dice with the same effort points must be assigned at once.

After 3 rounds, the player with the most number of calories collected wins.

The activities are as follows:

Research: Spend alone time in improving tools. Payoff is multiplied by number of effort points assigned to this task.

Forage: Forage for nearby berries. Payoff split proportionally by effort of each player.

Hunt: Cooperate with fellow hunters to bring down big game. Requires at least three hunters to succeed. If successful, payoff split in proportion to effort contributed

Scavenge: Search for carcasses from predators. Calories awarded to player who expended the most effort.
