Designed by Stan Kordonskiy (Rurik, Lock Up), developed by Jonny Pac (Coloma, Sierra West), solo mode by Drake Villareal (Merchants Cove), and illustrated by The Mico (Raiders of the North Sea, Viscounts), Endless Winter: Paleoamericans takes place in North America, around 10,000 BCE. Players guide the development of their tribes across several generations—from nomadic hunter-gatherers to prosperous tribal societies. Over the course of the game, tribes migrate and settle new lands, establish cultural traditions, hunt paleolithic megafauna, and build everlasting megalithic structures.
Endless Winter is a euro-style game that combines worker placement and deck building in an innovative way. Each round, players send their tribe members to various action spaces, and pay for the actions by playing cards and spending resources. Tribe cards grant additional labor, while Culture cards provide a variety of unique effects. As an alternative, cards can be saved for an end-of-round Eclipse phase, where they are simultaneously revealed to determine the new player order, and trigger various bonus actions.
The game features a novel blend of interwoven systems and mechanisms, such as multi-use cards, area influence, tile placement, and set collection. Plus, there are many viable paths to victory. After four brisk rounds, scores are tallied, and the tribe with the most points wins!

Not sure what to think after one play. There's a lot going on with all the mini games, some of which are more engaging than others. Rating might go up with future plays.

Its very decent. But lacks something. - Beautiful art and production - Multi use cards are always cool - Far too easy to accomplish everything by games end takes away from the feeling of urcency and ruins some depth - Expansions feel very gimmickyand tacked on - Many elements that give the game somewhat of a clusterf*ck feeling, without addingmuch to the depth. I.e. the megalith board seem very tacked on - Just feels slighty less interesting than Du ne and Arnak. Dune is also superior (imo) for experienced gamers, and Arnak is better with less experienced gamers. Thats why I sold this.

Production, graphic design and overall presentation are incredible. Rules are very easy to understand but it will likely take players a few rounds to fully grasp the many moving parts. The game is comprised of familiar mechanisms and yet it is put together in such a way that it feels fresh and exciting. In terms of gameplay, most specifically the deckbuilding and worker placement, Endless Winter feels similar to Lost Ruins of Arnak, thought there's also a bit of Catan DNA in the modular hexagonal tiles map. I actually prefer Endless Winter just a bit more, perhaps due to theme alone.
