In Gric you form a strategy from the off based on your cards, and aim for actions that will maximise that whilst juggling the need for food etc.<br />In Caverna, everything is more abundant, and the bonus rooms are out there for all. If someone takes the action you were planning on, there's usually something else you can do, that might alter your end game plan. <br /><br />I really like it, but I'm annoyed with myself for getting the adventuring rules wrong. It slowed the game down as we had more calculating to do, and because adventuring was more powerful than it should have been, I think a few spaces on the main board were neglected in favour of it. <br /><br />Wanna play again!
