The beloved board game, Caverna: The Cave Farmers, has now been transformed into a digital version called Caverna, which is available on Android, iOS, and Steam. Originally launched in 2013 and designed by Uwe Rosenberg—the mastermind behind Agricola—this digital adaptation has been brought to mobile platforms by the German studio Digidiced, priced at $11.99. Digidiced has also earned a reputation for converting several other board games into digital formats, and currently, they are offering significant discounts on titles such as Terra Mystica, Stockpile, Gaia Project, Chai, and Indian Summer.

Juggling a Dozen Decisions At Once in Caverna

Caverna centers around managing a dwarf family in a cave and strategically expanding their subterranean world. Starting with a modest cavern, players can pursue multiple paths of development. You might opt to clear forests and plant crops, fence in pastures to raise animals, or delve into the mountain to mine ore and gems, and even craft weapons for your dwarves' adventures.

Each turn in Caverna is crucial as the game concludes after a set number of rounds, with the final score determined by the extent of your expansion, development, and management. To get a better sense of the gameplay, check out the video below.

Played the Original?

The digital version of Caverna excels in managing its inherent complexity. Players can enjoy solo play against AI opponents, each with unique personalities, or challenge up to six other players. The game supports both online and local multiplayer modes and features asynchronous play with push notifications. For those who enjoy solo challenges, there are weekly challenges with leaderboards.

Additionally, the game offers a playback feature to review past matches, and visually, players can choose between the classic board game aesthetic or a modern 3D version. Explore the digital version of Caverna on the Google Play Store.
