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 humble cavern, you can explore various paths to success. You might choose to clear forests to plant crops, fence off areas for livestock, or delve deeper into the mountain to mine for ore and gems. Additionally, you can forge weapons to equip your dwarves for adventurous quests.

Every turn is crucial in Caverna, as the game concludes after a predetermined number of rounds. Your final score depends on how effectively you've expanded, developed, and managed your resources. Take a closer look at the gameplay in the video below.
