Caverna: The Cave Farmers, a beloved board game, has now been transformed into a digital experience. The digital version, simply titled Caverna, is available on Android, iOS, and Steam. Originally released in 2013 and designed by Uwe Rosenberg, the mastermind behind Agricola, this game brings a rich strategic depth to mobile and PC platforms.
On mobile, Caverna is published by Digidiced, a German studio renowned for converting board games into digital formats. You can purchase it for $11.99, but keep an eye out for discounts, as Digidiced is currently offering hefty price cuts across their portfolio, including titles like Terra Mystica, Stockpile, Gaia Project, Chai, and Indian Summer.
Juggling a Dozen Decisions At Once in Caverna
In Caverna, you take on the role of managing a dwarf family in a cave, striving to expand their subterranean world intelligently. Starting with a simple cavern, your journey can take you in numerous directions. You could clear forests to cultivate crops, erect fences for animal pastures, or delve deeper into the mountain to mine ore and gems. You might even forge weapons to equip your dwarves for adventures.
Each turn is crucial in Caverna, as the game concludes after a fixed number of rounds. Your final score depends on how effectively you've expanded, developed, and managed your resources. To get a better feel for the game, take a look at the gameplay video below.
Played the Original?
One of the standout features of the digital version of Caverna is its adept handling of the game's inherent complexity. You can enjoy solo play with AI opponents that exhibit varied personalities or compete against up to six other players. The game supports both online and local multiplayer modes and offers asynchronous play with push notifications, making it convenient to play at your own pace. For those who prefer solo gaming, there are weekly challenges complete with leaderboards to test your skills.
Additionally, the game includes a playback feature allowing you to review past matches. Visually, you have the choice between the classic board game aesthetics or a more contemporary 3D look. You can explore more about Caverna on the Google Play Store.
