Stone Age: Anniversary
60m - 90m
2 - 4 Players
Ages 10+
Dice rolling in a game can be used for many things, randomness being the most obvious. Dice can also be used as counters. The dice themselves can be unique and different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things.
Dice Rolling
The primary goal of a set collection mechanic is to encourage a player to collect a set of items.
Set Collection
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

I thought this might feel a little too basic for me, but ends up closer to being a clean and straightforward classic worker placement game. The dice might be too random for more serious strategy gamers, but I think it adds excitement to the proceedings. Not sure this will have the strongest legs but I think this has earned a spot as a nice game to fall back to once in awhile. I like the aesthetics of the anniversary edition too, more readable than I thought it was going to be.

This 10th anniversary edition of Stone Age is a nice upgrade from the standard version. The pieces are of higher quality, but more importantly, there are some extra, simple expansion modules that add some strategy to the game. Stone Age is a gateway game classic that opens up a whole new world of resource gathering, worker placement games. I've succesfully played it with both casual gamers and heavy strategy gamers.

I LOVE Stone Age and think it's the best introduction game for the worker placement genre (along with Lords of Waterdeep). For more on Stone Age, see my comments for the base game. Here, I will discuss the Anniversary edition. Because I love Stone Age, I had to buy the anniversary edition. However, it was twice the cost of the base game, so was it worth it? As much as I love Stone Age, and that the anniversary edition does add a few things, I have to say "no"... And this is because there are almost no changes to the base game! What you get is basically just a double-sided map and buildings with snowy illustrations; and the only gameplay change is that the you can now pay an extra stone for 5 VP when building a building with a cost of 3 resources, or pay a gold when you buy a civ card for 6 VP... Sooo uninteresting imo, and nothing you can't just reproduce in the base game. The reason why I wanted this new version is due to the 4 animal cards; they are shuffled into the civ deck, and then they pop up, they modify the dice rolls in a negative way until they are slaughtered. The rewards are pretty good, at least if you roll high, and I feel like this is pretty random as you might assign 2 workers and another player 1, and if you roll two 1's or 2's and the other player rolls a 6, he gained an extra worker while you got a few points or some food... Of course, Stone Age has lots of dice rolls and randomness, and I still love it, but I think the animals have more randomness than the civ cards where you roll dice, as you know that you get the best roll if you commit to that card, whereas you might just roll low with many workers on the animals. Still, it's a good edition as it also might cause you to change your plans as it's not that interesting to try and gather gold if the polar bear is out there and giving you a penalty of -3 to your rolls. Oh, and the first expansion (Style is the Goal) isn't even included in the anniversary edition, nor is any of the small expansions. Pretty poor for such an expensive game. Of course, if money is not an issue (... when is it ever not?!), go buy the anniversary edition, but I have to say that I wouldn't buy it again, even though the 4 animal cards are pretty cool. And in any case, Stone Age is a great game!
