Hunters and Gatherers
Rio Grande Games | Z-Man Games | ZMG 2nd Edition |
Introduction
A tile-laying game for 2-5 players aged 8 and up from Klaus-Jürgen Wrede.
Originally released by Hans im Glück in 2002.
A second edition with updated artwork, some rules revisions, and a few different tiles, was released in 2020.
"Thousands of years before the present city of Carcassonne was built, the area was already populated. The people hunted wild animals, gathered berries and caught fish for their daily survival. Even today there remains fantastic cave paintings and archaeological finds from which we understand the lives of those days."
Hunters and Gatherers is based on Carcassonne, but is not compatible with Carcassonne or any of the other Carcassonne spin-off games.

Fan Expansions
- Fan Expansions for Hunters and Gatherers - A small number of fan produced "print-and-play" expansions have been created which are available from CarcassonneCentral and CarcassonneForum. These expansions may either be "completed" (available as a complete pack of tiles and rules (as applicable - some may only be a set of rules)) or "in development" (partially developed, perhaps some tiles and an outline of rules in a forum discussion thread).
- Although included with Hunters and Gatherers, an alternative set of 50/100 Scoring Tiles are available to download from CarcassonneCentral.
