Caverna: Cave vs Cave – The Big Box

This game surprised me. I didn't expect it to be so fun and crunchy. Action selection row introduces a new action tile each round as well as being the round tracker. Sold Caverna The Cave Farmers to keep this version. Play time about 45 minutes, which is delightful. We find ourselves gravitating toward compact, inexpensive, crunchy games. You will think hard playing this game. If you like 2p only games this is really good. Make sure to buy the Big Box edition as it gives you the option of playing one or two eras. We usually play two eras when we get it out.

Bought Dec 2023. I liked it more than Hil, but my brain is smaller than hers and was able to process it easier then Caverna.. Bought it with the idea of being able to play Caverna whenever with smaller set up, but turns out, that's not the case 12/18/23

After 4 Solo plays: 8.5 Fun, relatively light game that still has a worker placement feel. Can play it pretty quickly, especially if you stop after Era 1. However, I will almost always play Era 1 & 2 each time as just Era 1 feels a little too short.

Era I game feels too short. Era II definitely needed, so glad it is included. A lot of strategy and need to make each action meaningful.

Good game, but for me less excellent than the two player big box version of Agricola. Whereas the standard Agricola and Caverna are quite similar, these two lighter games are completely different. Most of time we only play the first part - the second part doesn't add really much, though the completed cave looks beautiful!
