Caverna: Cave vs Cave

Caverna: Cave vs. Cave is a great two-player game that I've been enjoying with my partner. It's a streamlined version of the original Caverna, focusing on resource management and cave building. Each player has their own board representing a cave, and the goal is to build up your cave with various rooms and buildings while collecting resources and gold.

The game is easy to set up and learn, but it has a good amount of depth. There are multiple ways to earn points, so you need to strategize carefully to maximize your score. I love that there's no clear winner early on, it keeps the game exciting until the very end.

I agree with other reviewers that the directions can be a little confusing, so I recommend watching a video tutorial before playing. It definitely helped us understand the mechanics. While some reviewers have mentioned that the game can feel a little repetitive, I haven't found that to be the case. The randomized tiles provide a good amount of replayability.

Overall, I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun and engaging two-player experience. It's a great option for couples or anyone who enjoys strategy games. Just make sure to watch a video tutorial first to get a better understanding of the gameplay.
