Hello all, I find myself in possession of some Woolly Mammoths, Sabertooth Cats and a bunch of Cavemen. Any suggestions for rules to play with? I'm not sure if there is such a thing as 'hardcore' Caveman rules, but I'm just looking for something more beer and pretzel. I have 'Tusk'…. maybe something with a bit more complexity. Not only suggestions, but if you are looking to get rid of, maybe we can talk…. PM me…. Thanks, and I look forward to any suggestions. Dave |

Tribal and its specific Paleolithic supplement Primeval. Great game! |

Lost Lands by 2 Hr Wargames. link You can play as cavemen. Neanderthals, "monkey boys", lost world explorers, or even prehistoric animal. |

This is a subject I have had rolling around in the back of my mind for many years. (Without much action). But I did scan through the TMP guide to rules and found these:
Neolithic

Prehistoric Settlement
link
Tooth and Claw
TMP link
Caveman

Caveman Clash

Have played Tooth and Claw a lot and the Tribal
Paleolithic supplement several times. Like 'em both. |

Come on guys? Paleo Diet: Eat of be Eaten from Ganesha Games for the win! It's a great wee game with a bunch of scenarios & the most plausible animal behaviours I've seen in a rule set and it can be played solo, head-to-head or cooperatively. A campaign book and a pulp expansion are also available. And it's cheap. |

Thanks for the addition:
PALAEO DIET: EAT OR BE EATEN

Add on:
link Who can add this to the TMP rules page? |

Does Palaeo Diet have rules for Man to Man combat? |

Yes, you can do man-to-man combat in Palaeo Diet. One of the scenarios in the campaign book even has table-controlled "others". However the rules are not really intended for complex hostilities and such combat is fairly simplistic. If you're looking for a focus on warfare then I would suggest "Tribal", as mentioned above. But if you want a "beer and pretzels" hunting game then I think Palaeo Diet has a lot to recommend it… Note: I own (and have played, on multiple occasions) Prehistoric Settlement, Adventures in the Lost Lands and Tooth & Claw. All have their merits, but each left me feeling that something was missing. |

Thank you all. Palaeo Diet: Eat or be Eaten it is.  |
