Skara Brae is a strategic board game that transports you back to a time approximately fifty years ago. Here, a resilient group of farmers and hunters build a thriving community on the Orkney Islands in northern Scotland. Instead of discarding their empty shells, broken tools, and bones, they used them to create large mounds of earth over hundreds of years. Later generations dug into these refuse heaps to create a series of rooms and tunnels that provided shelter from the harsh winds and cold winter months.
