## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the rules and cards in English or German? I see the entire description is in English, but the pictured cover of the box is in German.**
A: My copy is completely in English. The rules are actually very clear as well.

**Q: Agricola vs Caverna if money were no object, which would you choose and why?**
A: Agricola. Go to boardgamegeek, look up the game, click on ratings, look at around the 4-3 level.This is an almost 100 percent open info game, very little setup change, all tiles aka cards in Agricola are available from the get go, first come pickings. Feeding the dwarfs is too easy, rubies act as a wild currency to trade for anything and everything. The game has two many catch up mechanisms, as I recall you can trade in food I think to take what would be a blocked action in Agricola. Agricola is a game, one that beats you up, Caverna is a church activity for kids.You quick discover you just are play the same game over and over, 1 player is a joke, anything over 4 players a long down time drag, 4 being the sweet spot.PS, one should now ask the Fanboys of this game how often did it hit or is now hitting the table. One well known video reviewer took back his glowing review of it, traded it away because it just did not wear well.

**Q: Is this the first or second version?**
A: The way to tell is check the back of the box for price.In the U.S. the first edition is $89.98 then Mayfair Games jacked up the price to $98.89 on reprints to the U.S. The price is printed on the bottom back left of the box. Mayfair purchased controlling interest in Outlook games, the publisher, while the first edition was already printed. Other then an artificial jacked up in price, I believe they are the same except the box price on the box. Google "Floor Pricing" " Mayfair Games price fixing" if you are interested why this game cost so much more over the rest of the hobby. The first edition can be sold cheaper then prints after it. Mayfair Games Floor Prices, aka they tightly limit the discount to a very small amount at the retail end, it is based on the printed MSRP on the box.So, there are two version, the second an upgrade to the price and change in price printed on box. :)

**Q: Is picture shown the actual cover of the box received?**
A: Yep that's the box. The picture wraps around the left side of the box as well

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is your big box game pick
*by T***R on November 18, 2021*

Caverna is not for everyone, but it's pretty close. It's a big box game, meaning it has a LOT of components, and for people who aren't already into board games, it might be a bit overwhelming. It's not actually that hard to learn, but it's more complicated than, say, Kingdomino.At the core, it's a worker placement game like Raiders of the North Sea, with nods to Kingdomino and even Castles of Mad King Ludwig. To me it's the quintessential worker placement game. Agricola has a lot of the same mechanics but is more punishing. This is a better experience for more players, or for those newer to board games and who might be reluctant to learn something that looks so vast. And it is vast.The complexity comes mainly in the form of 1) how many actions you have to choose from, and 2) how many different rooms you can build. Once you learn the basic game flow, the rest will start making sense the more you play. Caverna is a game where the strategy runs pretty deep. You will continue to notice new things every time you play.As I said in the title of this review: if you need help picking your "big box game," let me help you out: pick Caverna. If your group of friends is a more hardcore gamer group that plays many different games, you might want to go for Agricola instead. If you're not sure, just get this one. For the same price as Settlers of Catan, you get a lot more. Much wider support for number of players, expandable boards, tons of components, and even a solo play mode. The components are well made and satisfying to use.I really can't think of anything negative here. It does take some learning, but not much compared to other big box games. As a gift it is probably best to consider smaller or less expensive games. I would want to know the person I was gifting it to was a super board game geek before buying this for them - but then, if they were a super board game geek, they'd probably already own it. So the gifting value is a bit limited.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caverna is Agricola Improved Upon
*by D***J on April 11, 2014*

Caverna is a great worker placement style game with many choices on the way to collect points. Pros Cons:Pros:Many different strategies create great replay valueThe components are amazingly well done. Very high quality gameSurprisingly easy to teach for such an involved gameA ton of theme, really feel like a dwarf familyCons:So much going on, easy to get frustrated or lost on your first game or two, making choices to make choices without thoughtVery unclear how to maximize points to win, makes it hard to work towards an objective (which is also a pro)While the point system is better, it's still a little complexSetup/Cleanup is lengthyReally feels like you're playing solo but there are other farms out there (Oblivion Movie effect kinda?)I would like to suggest to people playing that once a worker is placed, it's much faster to have the next person place their worker and keep going while the first one collects the pieces or places their tiles. If you wait for everyone to completely collect their items and think about their tile placement, it gets very lengthy.I loved this game personally, and my other gamer friend really enjoyed it as well. My girlfriend, who is by all definitions a very casual player, didn't particularly enjoy it; in her mind it was a 2.5 out of 5 stars kind of game because of the length and having no idea what she was supposed to do to win. My other casual gamer friend was in a similar boat and gave it 3 out of 5. I think that if they played it again now that they have a handle on it they'd increase their scores as this really is a great family kind of game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game.  Replay value is high.  Strategy level is also fairly high.  Recommend!
*by M***E on January 24, 2018*

I have played it only twice solo and one time 2 players and it is fantastic. The time estimate is 30 minutes per person, but I found that it is closer to 1+ hrs per person. The dynamics of this game are excellent: worker placement, resource gathering, territory management. I feel the variability of approaches will allow this game to stay fresh for a long time. In the three games I have played, I have taken three different approaches and do not know if one is necessarily better than the other. It just all depends.I have played a lot of different games and I think the theme of this game widens the range of audience receptive to this game. Although there is no direct conflict with the other players board, since you have to place workers (dwarves) on action options (only one dwarf can take any action in a round), there will be some hurt feelings as players vie for the same options.My cons would be that there are so many pieces that if you don't buy (or build in my case) your own piece organizer, setup and tear down is too time consuming. Also, the wood and the cows/dogs are too similar of a color and can get a bit jumbled.Overall, I recommend this game for people who are willing to have longer board gaming sessions. The rules seem intimidating, since there are over 30 pages, so it would be good to familiarize yourself in a single player game instead of learning it as a group.FYI, I also added eyes to my sheep because it is hilarious. The game pieces don't come like that.
