In line with its predecessor (Agricola), Caverna is essentially a worker-placement game with an emphasis on farming. In the game you are the bearded leader of a small dwarf family living in a cave in the mountains. You start the game with a farmer and his wife, with each member of the farmer's family representing an action that the player can perform each turn. Together you cultivate the forest in front of your cave and dig deeper into the mountain. You design the caves as places for your descendants to live and as workspaces for small businesses. It's up to you how much ore you want to mine. You'll need it to forge weapons that will allow you to go on expeditions to obtain bonus items and actions. As you dig through the mountain, you may come across water springs and discover ore and ruby ​​mines that will help you increase your wealth. Right in front of your cave you can increase your wealth even further with farming: you can clear the forest to sow fields and fence meadows to hold your animals. You can also expand your family as your farm grows. Ultimately, the player with the most efficiently developed home game board wins. You can also play the solo version of this game to familiarize yourself with the 48 different layout tiles for your cave. Caverna, with a playing time of approximately 30 minutes per player, is a complete redesign of Agricola that replaces the maps from the previous game with a set of buildings, while adding the ability to purchase weapons and send your peasants on quests to further obtain resources. Designer Uwe Rosenberg says the game contains parts of Agricola, but also has new ideas, especially the part of your game board where the cave is, where you can build mines and look for rubies. The game also features two new animals: dogs and donkeys.

Bear Park: The Bad News Bears contains three separate modules that can be used individually or together with the Bear Park base game. A module contains a set of new objectives that can be shuffled together with those in the base game. A second module allows you to add grizzly bears to your bear park, with the grizzly bear tiles taking up seven spaces in a park section. That's quite something, right? Well, to give your park room to grow, you now need to add and complete a fifth park section to complete the game. This expansion includes four new park sections, each with an exit gate so visitors aren't stuck in your park forever. A third module contains narrow monorail tiles that start with a value of ten points and decrease in value as you add them to your bear park. How do you add a monorail? First you need to place tiles in your park, each with space for a column, and you need to space them correctly. Once you have placed two columns, take the top monorail tile and balance it on the columns. Now everyone can shuffle around your park and watch the bears!

At the start of the game you have nothing more than a wooden house with 2 rooms, in which 2 family members live. You have a range of options to build a comfortable life through house expansion, agriculture and livestock farming. You collect raw materials such as wood and clay, expand your family and ensure enough food for everyone. You plow fields and plant them with grain and vegetables. You also keep sheep, pigs and cattle. You also get 14 unique crafts and small investments, which give you small advantages in the game. Because the game contains 96 of those cards, no game is the same! Have you developed your yard best? Then you score the most points and win! The Games Friends: “ Agricola is another highlight from Uwe Rosenberg. The theme is super fun and the game material looks fantastic. Perfect for lovers of Odin and De Friesche Velden!"
