Friday Night Smackdown S13: Endless Winter - Paleoamericans

*Celebrating over a year of champions & $730 worth of games won*

Friday Night Smackdown is our once-a-month event where we play a tournament of a game giving the winner a chance to walk away with a free copy. This month we are playing Endless Winter: Paleoamericans a 63-dollar game.

Endless Winter - Paleoamericans: 8.0

Designed by Stan Kordonskiy (Dice Hospital, Rurik, Lock Up), developed by Jonny Pac (Coloma, Sierra West, Lions of Lydia), solo mode by Drake Villareal (Solani, Spook Manor), and illustrated by The Mico (Raiders of the North Sea, Paladins of the West Kingdom, Valeria), 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!

Join us on December 16th @ 7:00pm for Season 13 of our Friday Night Smackdown event and become the next Board Game Cafe Champion and win a free copy of Endless Winter: Paleoamericans. See ya soon!
