Tribal Roots

My GGJ 2023 entry

From your common, Neolithic roots, rise through the ages, attacking others while you research your way into the future. A turn-based strategy game for 2 to 4 people who can play in hot-seat multiplayer mode. Every turn you have only one action to choose from: attack another player, research one progress, recruit up to five armies, or simply pass without doing anything. During the game, you will earn Victory points by winning battles and researching (more if you're the first to unlock a new technology). In battle, each player rolls three D6 and adds their armies' strength. The loser loses three armies; if it's a tie, both players lose one army. If you lose all your armies in battle, you will lose the game. After the Neolithic, you will be able to choose a vocation every time a new age starts (every ten turns) to receive a temporary buff for the era. The last player standing, or who has more Victory points at the end of the game, is declared winner.
