This game enables us to accompany our predecessors on their adventurous journey. The game board exhibits the continents Africa, Eurasia, Australia and America - all structured in hex fields. Each player starts the game with a set up of 3 tribes in Africa. Each tribe receives resources generated from the adjacent hex fields throughout the game. The hillside landscapes generate meat, the steppes provide for bones, the mountains harbor flint stone and furs can be obtained in the forest. We need these resources in order to create nomads. Nomads leave the tribes, discover new territories and finally found new tribal communities in other suitable places. The transformation of nomads into tribes results in victory points. The player who garners 10 victory points first, wins the game. However, the founding of new tribes is not the only way to obtain victory points in this game. Beyond this, players gain victory points by successfully meeting challenges, such as overcoming harsh climatic conditions, scouting inhospitable land and spreading tribal communities worldwide. People familiar with the game "The Settlers of Catan" may have very well realized the similarities. The game principles of "Abenteuer Menschheit" are based on the basic "Catanian" mechanisms: Harvest, Trade and Building. Still, this is a stand-alone game with new, thematically adapted rules.
