How a game of Cavefolk goes
Each round a new action space comes out, and in turn everyone sends one family member at a time to a free space: take the wood or stone piled there, place a meadow and a field or a cave and a tunnel, furnish a room, fence pastures, sink a mine, or forge gear and set off on an expedition. Your farm is on the TV for everyone to see; your choices are on your phone. Most rounds end with a harvest: fields give crops, every family member eats, and animals with a pair have young. After twelve rounds, points for animals, crops, gems, coins, family, pastures, mines and rooms decide the richest farm, with a point for every square put to use.
