Digital Board Game Adaptation of Caverna: The Cave Farmers Is Out on Android

The beloved board game Caverna: The Cave Farmers has now been transformed into a digital experience. Known simply as Caverna, this digital adaptation is available on Android, iOS, and Steam, bringing Uwe Rosenberg's 2013 classic to a new audience. Rosenberg, the mastermind behind the equally renowned Agricola, has crafted a game that challenges players to build and manage a thriving underground world.

On mobile platforms, Caverna is published by Digidiced, a German studio renowned for converting board games into digital formats. You can grab the game for $11.99, but keep an eye out for discounts, as Digidiced currently offers significant price reductions on other 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 a dwarf family striving to expand their subterranean domain. Starting with a simple cavern, you have numerous paths to explore. You could clear forests to cultivate crops, establish pastures for livestock, or delve deeper into the mountain to mine ore and gems. You might even craft weapons to equip your dwarves for adventurous quests.

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 sense of the gameplay, take a look at the video below.

Played the Original?

One of the standout features of the digital version of Caverna is its ability to manage the game's inherent complexity. Whether you're playing solo against AI opponents with distinct personalities or competing with up to six other players, the game offers a seamless experience. It supports both online and local multiplayer, as well as asynchronous play with push notifications, making it easy to fit gaming into your schedule.

For solo players, weekly challenges and leaderboards add an extra layer of engagement. The game also includes a playback feature, allowing you to review past matches.
