Juggling a Dozen Decisions At Once in Caverna
Caverna is all about managing a dwarf family in their subterranean home and making strategic choices to expand their underground domain. Starting with a basic cavern, players can take their development in various directions. You might choose to clear forests for agriculture, set up pastures for livestock, or delve deeper into the mountain to mine for ore and gems. There's also the option to craft weapons and embark on adventures.
Every turn in Caverna is crucial, as the game concludes after a fixed number of rounds. Your score depends on how effectively you've expanded, developed, and managed your resources. For a closer look at the gameplay, check out the video below.
