Skara Brae

Gather the resources needed for settler survival. In Skara Brae, gather resources and shelter Neolithic settlers in northern Scotland!

Around five thousand years ago, resilient farmers and hunters built a thriving community on the Orkney Islands in northern Scotland. Instead of throwing away their empty shells, broken tools, bones and other refuse, they used them to form large mounds of earth over the centuries. Subsequent generations dug into these piles of detritus to create a series of rooms and tunnels, sheltering themselves from the strong winds and harsh winter months.

The aim of Skara Brae is to gather a variety of resources to feed, clothe and shelter a growing number of settlers. Players take turns drawing cards and using their workers to furnish, cook, manufacture, clean and trade.

At the end of each round, players must provide for their settlers, and will probably create more garbage to clean up.

After four rounds, the player with the most victory points wins.
