Skara Brae

Step back 5,000 years and build a thriving prehistoric settlement in Skara Brae, a strategic worker placement and resource management board game inspired by the ancient Orkney Islands community.

Players take on the roles of settlers working to gather resources, provide shelter, craft tools, prepare food, and develop their growing homes. Through card drafting and worker placement, you’ll furnish rooms, trade goods, manage supplies, and survive the challenges of island life.

Each round brings new demands as settlers must be fed and cared for while the midden—the accumulated waste of daily life—continues to grow. Balance expansion, resource management, and cleanup to create the most successful settlement.

After four rounds, the player with the most points earns victory and proves they built the greatest Skara Brae community. Perfect for fans of historical themes, Euro-style strategy, and immersive civilization-building games.
