"Wendake" is the name the Wyandot people use for their traditional territory. Also known as the Huron Nation, this people lived in the Great Lakes region along with the tribes that formed the Iroquois Confederacy. In this game you will explore the traditions and daily life of these tribes during the period of 1756-1763, when the Seven Years' War between the French and the English took place in these areas.

But this war of the whites is only a marginal aspect of the game; the focus is on life in the indigenous villages, fields and forests. In this game you won't find the traditional teepees, which were used by southwestern tribes who moved their camps to follow the herds of bison. The indigenous peoples of the Great Lakes were more sedentary and lived in longhouses. The women grew beans, corn and pumpkins, while the men hunted beavers in the forests, mainly to sell their pelts as leather.

In Wendake you step into the shoes of the chief of a Native American tribe. You will have to manage the most important aspects of your tribe's daily existence, earning points on the Economic, Military, Ritual and Mask tracks. The core of the game is the action selection mechanic: you get the chance to choose better and better actions over 7 years (i.e. rounds), and the winner will be the chieftain who finds the best combinations of actions and uses them to win his tribe to prosperity!
