Product Description

Theme : The Lascaux caves found in 1940 depict a series of pre-historic animals drawn on the cave walls. The card game, using the artwork of the game is a hand management and auction bidding game where players attempt to collect as many of the animals depicted. With six (6) animal types and only the player with the most of each animal given points, you will have to be careful on what to bid and when.

Gameplay : Lascaux is an auction / bidding game that promotes forward thinking and tactical choices each turn. There are 54 playing cards with six different animals on them, each card having two of six colours. Players also start with 12 stones and six tokens for each colour.

At the start of the game, cards are turned over to a maximum of 7 cards or six colours, whichever comes first. Players then simultaneously decide on which colour they are bidding on through the use of their tokens.

This is when the meat of the game begins. Players take turns either placing a single stone in the center of the table or passing. If they pass, they make take all the stones currently in the center of the table and must place their token on the token pile. He may not bid further. When all players have passed, the overall winner of the bidding process flips his token over and takes his colour choice. This continues till all cards are taken.

Play in Lascaux continues until no additional cards are available. At this time, points are scored with the player with the most number of cards of each animal type receiving a score based on the total number of animals of that type he has. All other players do not receive points. Stones at the end of the game are scored at 1 point for 6 stones.

As can be seen, players must decide when to stop bidding and whether to pass and take the stones for use in a future round or to continue bidding to win, but be faced with much fewer stones in the next round of bidding.
