Caverna: The Cave Farmers (English)
30m - 210m
1 - 5 Players
Ages 12+
Tile Placement games feature placing a piece to score VPs, with the amount often based on adjacent pieces or pieces in the same group/cluster, and keying off non-spatial properties like color, "feature completion", cluster size etc.
Tile Placement
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

The sequel to Agricola- improves upon a lot of the things I didn't like about Agricola. Now with dogs and donkeys!

+ Great feeling of accomplishment from seeing your holdings expand and grow through the game; Building variety keeps you from just going through pre-scripted moves. - Tons of fiddly-bits which makes set-up longer than it should be.

An Agricola variant, which means a high strategy, option-filled, "thematic", feeding-tension, worker placement game with great components and great scalability. If you know Agricola you practically know how to play this game. There are 12 instead of 14 rounds and each round you select an action (once chosen no one else can choose it), and periodically (with increasing frequency) you have a harvest where you get crop yields, feed your people and have animal husbandry. This time you're a family of dwarves (odd yes) carving out a home in the mountains and growing a farm outside. There are a set number of actions to choose from that differ based on the number of players and a fixed set of actions that come into play each round like in Agricola. The main differences from Agricola are: 1) there are no cards. Instead the variability/special abilities/special point generators are in the form of rooms that can be built and these are ALL in play and OPEN to all players from the beginning similar to Agricola: all creatures big and small 2) there are now quests. Quests involve forging weapons using a new resource, ore, and selecting action spaces that allow you to choose free goods from a menu of items. The better your weapon the better the choices and the more you use your weapon the better it gets. 3) scoring is more open. There are no minimums or maximums for scoring for example 20 vegetables is worth 20 points instead of being capped at 4 points and you don't get minus 1 point for not having any (caveat: you still lose points for having empty spaces on your board and for missing animal types) 4) there is another new resource, rubies, which are like a wild card. All rubies are worth 1 point each, but they can also be used to purchase almost anything at any time 5) family growth is not essential. You can go for growth but since family members are only worth 1 point instead of 3 points but still cost the same amount of food and there are more opportunities to grow and the game rounds are less, yes you can certainly win with only 2 players (after over 250 face to face games of Agricola I don't believe that is true for that game) 6) feeding is more flexible. Notice I said more flexible but contrary to what some people are saying it is NOT easy it is still a grind mainly because harvests occur nearly every round! 7) the game is 2 rounds shorter and scales from 1-7(!) players I love Agricola it's my favourite game so naturally I really enjoy Caverna it gives me the same/similar flavour and feel but it's different enough that it feels fresh. If you enjoy one you will enjoy the other and most likely vice versa. Is it worth owning both? Absolutely. I imagine that eventually there will be building expansions similar to how there are the card expansions for Agricola.
