Caveman Caravan is a tile-placing, resource gathering puzzle roguelike. Cavemen are organizing in caravans to journey across a land bridge. Help lead them to a new land by filling out the nearby map to provide them resources. Clearing 12 rounds completes their year-long journey and brings them to a new home!
PICK A LEADER
Select your caravan’s leader to determine your starting tiles and tools. Each outlines a different playstyle…and some come with fun secondary effects, too!
GROW YOUR CARAVAN
Each tile and tool you add to your arsenal is representative of a caveman that travels with your caravan. The capacity to find different places, or use a new tool, comes with their presence. Add more members to your caravan as your journey continues to expand your options and increase your capabilities!
HELP THEM HELP THEMSELVES

OVERCOME HARSH CONDITIONS
At the end of each season, persist through a round with extra effects and conditions that add an extra challenge with extra obstacles to overcome.
LEAD THEM TO A NEW HOME
