The prehistoric players have already learned how to build huts and hunt food. Now they sit around the fire, gaze in wonder at the tribal matriarch, and wonder how they can look as good as her: "Why is my tooth just hanging?" "Honey, I also want something to make my skin look good."

In this expansion for Stone Age, style is the goal as ornaments and jewelry become part of the game – not to mention a merchant to handle such items. Players can now transform their raw materials into jewelry and other adornments.

This expansion includes a new location for the village, new cards, and new huts – not to mention components that allow game play with up to five Stone Age hunter-gatherers.

Great addition to a fun game

The addition of the merchant hut to Stone Age adds more than just another place to drop workers. The options that come with the teeth and hut add another dimension while staying true to Stone Age's not overly complex game play. I just wish they had reprinted the entire board... I know... costs... but for the price, in comparison to the original game??? Oh well... still love it.

Great game with streamlined mechanism

Excellent Dungeon Crawler

Fateforge is one of the best dungeon crawlers I've ever played. Setup and teardown is reasonably quick, although the box only barely managed to contain its contents with the added expansion. The social and exploration sections of the game are fun, with simple 'skill checks' and having to navigate a physical map to get around the city. Combat is surprisingly quick and snappy thanks to characters rolling just four dice, generating four symbols, and then spending those to Move, attack enemies in Melee and with ranged Shots, or generate Focus for certain special skills. The enemies have simple behaviors which let you plan your turns a lot more effectively.

My two criticisms are (1) the game is really stingy with money and (2) the app really needs a back/undo button. While you can't really fix the second issue, I recommend fixing the first by letting the party heal 3 Health instead of 2 for each gem spent resting, and letting the players sell unwanted equipment for half its value, rounded down, when they visit a store. This will give the party slightly more money to buy and upgrade skills and get better weapons but shouldn't make the game too easy, especially if you're playing for the first time.

Fun new characters

Enjoy the new characters and added merchant phase!
