Caverna: The Cave Farmers, a beloved board game, has now been transformed into a digital experience. The digital adaptation, aptly named Caverna, has recently made its debut on Android, iOS, and Steam.

On mobile platforms, Caverna is brought to you by Digidiced, a German studio renowned for converting board games into digital formats. You can grab Caverna for $11.99, and currently, Digidiced is offering substantial discounts 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 managing a dwarf family in their quest to expand their underground world. Starting with a simple cavern, the game offers multiple pathways to growth. You might decide to clear out forest areas to plant crops, or perhaps you'll opt to create pastures for raising animals. Alternatively, you can delve deeper into the mountain to mine ore and gems, and even craft weapons to equip your dwarves for adventures.
Every turn in Caverna is critical as the game concludes after a fixed number of rounds. Your final score is determined by how effectively you've expanded, developed, and managed your resources. To get a better sense of the gameplay, take a look at the game in action below.
Played the Original?
One of the standout features of the digital version of Caverna is its ability to manage the game's complexity seamlessly. Whether you're playing solo against AI opponents with distinct personalities or competing with up to six other players, the game offers a robust experience. It supports both online and local multiplayer modes, as well as asynchronous play with push notifications, making it easier to fit gaming into your schedule.
For those who prefer to play alone, weekly challenges with leaderboards add an extra layer of competition. The game also includes a playback feature, allowing you to revisit past games and learn from your strategies. Visually, you have the option to stick with the classic board game aesthetic or switch to a modern 3D version for a fresh look. Explore the game further on the Google Play Store.
