About the game
This expansion to Stone Age was released with the Spielbox - "Hans Im Gluck Almanach" magazine, which was released in September 2008, together with the Carcassonne expansion Carcassonne: The Cult. The expansion contains 6 new huts which are shuffled with the existing huts. A number of huts dependent on the number of players are randomly removed from play, so the new huts may or may not end up in any given game. The New Huts are included in the first full expansion, Stone Age: The Expansion. The huts are: Wooden Hut (3 wood, 3 VP, grants one wood each round) Clay Hut (3 bricks, 4 VP, grants one brick each round) Stone Hut (3 stones, 5 VP, grants one stone each round) Kindergarten (one brick and one gold, 5 VP, +1 people figure) Workshop (one wood and one stone, 5 VP, +1 new tool) Greenhouse (any three resources, 5 VP, +1 on food track) The English rules can be found here.

Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Stone Age: The New Huts are: Bernd Brunnhofer.

The catalogue lists Stone Age: The New Huts as an expansion for Stone Age. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Stone Age to use it. Check that your edition of Stone Age is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
