Juggling a Dozen Decisions At Once in Caverna
In Caverna, you take on the role of managing a dwarf family in their underground home, striving to expand and optimize their cave world. Starting with a simple cavern, you can explore various paths to growth. You might choose to clear forests for agriculture, set up pastures for livestock, or delve deeper into the mountain to mine ore and gems. You can even craft weapons to equip your dwarves for thrilling adventures.
Every turn in Caverna is crucial, 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 video below.
