Time of the Hunter

Time of the Hunter is a mint tin solo game. Direct a small tribe's group of hunters, using your store of food resources to hunt and gather more food for the Winter ahead. Run out of food or hunting days and you'll lose, but gather enough to see the tribe through Winter and you win.

Quick to set up, it's portable Palaeolithic peril.

Your hunters start the day by grabbing some food from the store and heading out to hunt wild beasts. They can choose small or large beasts, with the varying rewards but also difficulty and threats they pose.

Dice rolls and allocation of dice to the sets needed to take down each animal decide success, but every dice roll or re-roll costs one food/energy.

...And if the team fails, most animals will fight back. Now the tables have turned; the hunters must escape back to the cave! An injured hunter will be a burden on the clan - taking food each day to recover, but no longer available to hunt.

Grab a duck, trap a salmon, or get the team at their best to take down a mammoth.

Dice rolls and decisions are make or break for the whole clan. Their survival through winter depends on you.

Select who is on the day's hunt and who is left behind.

Decide how much food from the store will power the hunt and which hunters receive more, or less.

Choose small animals with low food value or larger animals with more food yield, but more risk?

Pick the right techniques to take down your prey and consider a re-roll, change of plan, or use the next hunter?

It's all up to you.

Time of the Hunter also contains four bonus cards for the game Forest of the Demon.
