In The Cave, you and your friends are spelunkers exploring a newly discovered cave. Each turn, you use five action points to move, discover new tunnels, and explore underground wonders like halls full of stalactites. But beware! You’ll need supplies like ropes, oxygen, and batteries to tackle challenges like steep descents and underground lakes. Planning what to pack in your backpack is crucial, as you’ll lose supplies while exploring and need to return to base to restock. The cave is different every game, so you never know what you’ll find. Earn points by exploring different types of areas and securing bonuses for being the most efficient. When the cave is fully explored, the player who made the biggest effort in the most spectacular way wins!
