Wendake

Embark on a journey into the heart of Native American culture with "Wendake" by Renegade Game Studios. Named after the traditional territory of the Wyandot people, also known as the Huron Nation, this game offers a captivating exploration of life in the Great Lakes region during the 1756–1763 period. While the backdrop is the Seven Years’ War between the French and English, the true essence of the game lies in the vibrant tapestry of native village life, where traditions thrive amidst the forests and fields.

Experience the rich heritage of the Great Lakes tribes as you step into the role of a tribal chief. In "Wendake," you'll immerse yourself in the daily rhythms of indigenous existence, overseeing crucial aspects of tribal life such as farming, hunting, and ritual practices. Unlike the nomadic tribes of the Southwest, the natives of this region were sedentary, dwelling in longhouses and cultivating crops like beans, corn, and pumpkins. As chief, you'll navigate the challenges of economic sustainability, military prowess, and cultural rituals, earning points on various tracks as you shape the destiny of your tribe.

At the heart of "Wendake" lies an innovative action selection mechanism, offering players the opportunity to strategically choose actions over the span of seven years (rounds). The ultimate victor will be the chief who masterfully combines actions to steer their tribe towards prosperity and prominence in the face of adversity.

Dive into the immersive world of "Wendake" and discover the resilience, ingenuity, and spirit of Native American tribes during a pivotal period in history.
