Great game, in the theme great mood, maybe xp is slow at the beggining but overall i had a lot of fun

I really liked watching my tribe grow and become better equipped and eventually settled.

I didn't progress past day 3 though, because when I get to medieval age, the raiders become very numerous and destroy me. Also I can't figure out where to get iron which is required for many upgrades.

I played 3 runs with 3 different approaches: exploring the map, building settlements and just staying at the same spot without either, and didn't progress. I also tried stockpiling several upgrades and getting multiple medieval era technologies at once, but that didn't help too.

Overall, an enjoyable game but a little too difficult for me.

Wow really fun game, spent a time on it and I'm still wanting to play it more later.

The little amount of iteration initially made me think that I would just see my colonists worka, but you have to choose ur colony strategy, chose cards, build structure, research tech and all the cards coming at random make this entry deep.

Top level game here, impressive that is made in 72 hours, congratulations both.

Very nice game. I cant seems to survive long... I would love to play that game when more balanced. Great job for a jam !

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah we ran out of time to balance the game. There are some strategies to get further in, maybe we can share once more people play to prevent spoilers!

You managed to make the game easy to grasp with quite a lot of interesting mechanics! The models and the gameplay loop make it a very cozy game (well, until suddenly you get overrun in the medieval age 😄) The trading with your own settlements felt a bit cumbersome to control, but the rest of the game felt super smooth an polished. As you already noted, a bit more balancing is needed but otherwise very impressive game!
