7 itemsAbout the Game
Humankind in a nutshell is a roguelike where the rise and fall of civilizations is decided by the spin of a slot. Plant a seed, and watch it become a kingdom. Trade in stone, and trade out steel. Every turn is a millennium. Every choice, a legacy.
You will not place your symbols. You will choose them — and then surrender to fate as the board scatters your civilization across the ages. From the first campfire to the towers of the modern world, no two histories are ever written the same.
How long can your people endure?
