Place Wonky Workers in Wizkid’s ‘Age of Dirt’

Jul 8, 2019

This October Wizkids takes you back to the dawn of mankind with Age of Dirt: A Game of Uncivilization. This title has its tongue firmly in cheek as players will aim to place workers, who aren’t all too bright, in order to attempt to tackle a variety of projects in order to help their clan. Age of Dirt is for two to five players, ages 14+, plays in around 45 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $49.99.

From Wizkids:

Wizkids is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Age of Dirt: A Game of Uncivilization, a worker placement game with stupid workers!

In Age of Dirt, you’ll control of a small tribe at the dawn of civilization, and send out your workers in the hopes of collecting the resources you need to grow and thrive. Unfortunately, they won’t always listen. Before collecting resources, you’ll have to place your workers, and any of your opponents’ workers in the same space, into a tower, and only some of them will come out. The rest will have to wait to be knocked loose on a future turn.

So, if you send a worker to the Forest to collect wood and berries, they might end up in the Mountains, collecting herbs, the Plains hunting for fur, or the Love Tent making…growing your population. They might also bring some predators out of the tower with them, and not come back at all.

Players will use the resources their workers end up with to arm their workers with clubs and drums, to make a larger cave, or to build an invention, earning victory points for their tribe. The first player to build a total of 10 victory points wins the game!
