Escape from Arrow Caverns

Turn the cave to your advantage in Escape from Arrow Caverns, a single-player strategy game which challenges the player to search for buried treasures while planning their escape route out of a collapsing cave network. You'll need to plan carefully as you help a team of spelunkers through an increasingly-perilous maze of unstable caverns.

During the player's turns, there are several phases. They first direct their team of spelunkers to explores the cave's caverns using limited movement cards. They must follow the arrows on each cavern's floor. Second, each spelunker surveys their occupied caverns by rotating the arrow. But be careful--once each cavern can only be moved once! Third, each spelunker excavates their caverns to search for buried treasure. However, each time a cavern is excavated, it becomes unstable! If they linger on that cavern in the future, the entire cave will collapse, and the player will lose!

Finally, after revealing all four of the buried treasures, each spelunker must return to starting Daylight cavern and escape before the end of the seventh turn. If they can do this, then the player wins!

Can you explore the cave, excavate all four treasures, and lead your team to safety before Arrow Caverns collapses?
