About this game

Rosenberg's Caverna distilled into a tight two-player duel of cave excavation and room building. Dig deeper into your mountain to unlock space for rooms that generate resources and scoring combos. The action selection grows each round as new tiles appear, creating an expanding decision space. Compact enough for a quick evening game while retaining the satisfying resource conversion chains that define Rosenberg's designs.
