The beloved board game Caverna: The Cave Farmers has now been transformed into a digital version, aptly named Caverna. This digital adaptation is now available on Android, iOS, and Steam, following its initial release in 2013 by the renowned designer Uwe Rosenberg, who is also the mastermind behind Agricola.
On mobile platforms, Caverna is published by the German studio Digidiced, and it's available for purchase at $11.99. Digidiced is well-known for converting numerous board games into digital formats and currently offers significant discounts on other titles in their catalog, including Terra Mystica, Stockpile, Gaia Project, Chai, and Indian Summer.
Juggling a Dozen Decisions At Once in Caverna
Caverna immerses players in the life of a dwarf family striving to expand their underground world. Starting from a simple cavern, players can explore various paths to growth. You might decide to clear out a forest to plant crops, create pastures for livestock, or delve deeper into the mountain to mine ore and gems, and even craft weapons for your dwarves' adventures.
Each turn in Caverna is crucial, as the game concludes after a predetermined number of rounds. Your final score is determined by how effectively you've expanded, developed, and managed your resources. Take a closer look at the game in action below.
