A game inspired from the very first prehistoric cities built in the Near East some 10,000 years ago.
Each player represents a clan which settles with other clans to erect a village. The replica of a Neolithic settlement is built on the table using small square pieces representing houses.
Hoyuk is a game of placement, with some part of negotiation.
