About the game
extrapolated from Bruno Faidutti's site: A dexterity with a little strategy type of game. "Long ago, it happenned that the great god Prewt suffered such gastric and intestinal troubles that there was a big noise, the rumble of thunder, the skies darkened and the great oak was struck by lightnings..." So the players are homo - not really sapiens, and hardly erectus - trying to build a monument in honor of the great Prewt. The scheme is simple: just pile up big stones. The ritual, however, may be complicated, when for example, you must put your stone with your left hand after passing it under your right leg, your nose on the table, with your neighbour's glasses. And, of course, it must not fall.

Questions and answers
Neolithibum supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Neolithibum is 40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Neolithibum for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Neolithibum has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Neolithibum belongs to these categories: Party Game, Action / Dexterity, and Prehistoric. Its main mechanics are Simultaneous Action Selection.
