Juggling a Dozen Decisions At Once in Caverna
In Caverna, you take on the role of managing a dwarf family in their underground home. Starting with a humble cavern, you face a myriad of choices on how to expand and develop your subterranean world. You could clear forests to plant crops, fence pastures for animal husbandry, or delve deeper into the mountain to mine ore and gems. There's also the option to forge weapons and equip your dwarves for adventures.
Each 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 understanding of the gameplay, check out the video below.

For solo enthusiasts, weekly challenges with leaderboards add an exciting competitive edge.
Additionally, Caverna includes a playback feature, allowing you to revisit past games. Visually, you can choose between the classic board game aesthetic or a more contemporary 3D look. Explore Caverna further by visiting its page on the Google Play Store.
