CATAN Dawn of Humankind – Humankind's Greatest Journey 🌍🔥

The first branches of the human family tree sprouted in Africa up to 300,000 years ago. In CATAN – Dawn of Humankind, a standalone strategy game for 3–4 players aged 12+, you guide one branch of that family across the world in about 90 minutes.

Over the millennia, humans journeyed out, putting down new roots in all areas of the world, evolving, adapting and innovating as they went. In this game, you gather resources, migrate and settle in new areas, all while advancing your people's technology and culture on the progress tracks. The player who can most successfully grow and develop their thriving civilisation wins. Dawn of Humankind is a fresh reboot of the original game The Settlers of the Stone Age. It is rooted in the classic CATAN system of rolling dice and collecting resources, with plenty of new mechanisms and strategies to discover. You do not need the CATAN base game – everything is in the box: a game board, 4 progress tracks, 13 number discs, 4 player aid cards, 80 resource cards, a card tray, 48 player pieces, a Neanderthal and a smilodon, 18 exploration markers, 33 campsite markers, 14 victory point tiles, 2 dice and a rules and quick setup sheet.
