Caverna players wanted

Any interest in a beginners game of Caverna?

The problem with these apps continually increasing in price is that I’m much less inclined to impulse buy one just to try the game out. I’m certainly interested in Caverna but on the fence about pulling the trigger. I’ll keep my eye on this thread and if a game starts up and if it looks like there might be continued interest, I’ll probably join in. Let me see if we get one or two more people.

I’m tempted, but given that I don’t play the Agricola app anymore when it is in my opinion a better game, and probably a better app (even after the Asmodee bugs), I’m reluctant to pick the Caverna app up. I’ll probably cave if we get critical mass though…

Well, the one thing the Caverna app certainly has going for it is that it is actually available. Asmodee killing Agricola TWICE is malpractice.

But both versions are still working!

but are dead trees. new players can’t buy them. no bugfixes will come out.
and no notifications.

i’m not the biggest digidiced fan but notifications are working well in their games.

So are we still sitting at 1 person owning this an nobody else yet willing to pull the trigger?

I bit. Bought. Whatever, I’m downloading it now lol

Alright, I’ll learn it. But I probably won’t download until tomorrow. So that’s 3.

Tried the tutorial on my phone and can’t see a damn thing, I’ll learn it later when the iPad charges up.

Well that’s disheartening.

I bit also and bought. Jokermon on Digidiced. I am travelling from early next week but still should be able to check in periodically if we can get a game together. I really struggled with the app - much more than I thought as I’ve got both app versions of Agricola. The tutorial I found to be a mess. Things gelled much more when I found the 2D button for a more traditional board game view rather than mis-match default 3D view. Got through a full game finally last night vs easy AI and can see now why the game is highly rated.

Ok, to give everybody a change to learn the game a bit, I will wait till Friday before creating the game.

The Terra Mystica one made hate that game.

There is an art to tutorials and they miss it. They try to make it a story, which bogs things down, and they don’t always go in a logical order or explain things thoroughly. Sometimes they will just say “click here, we will discuss it later” and it leaves you scratching your head. I like a number of their games in spite of how well they taught me.

I also have - let me learn on train today…

Wow…that might have been the worst tutorial ever. I didn’t learn a single thing about the game.

I just thought the same thing lol!

There was no why, other than - get food.

Why do the Caverna needs to be aligned like that?

Tunnels or caverns? If tunnels I think they need to be aligned to build ore mines on them? Still figuring the nuances of the game and apologies if I’ve misunderstood the question.
