Undergrove
Undergrove is a game about mushrooms and trees trading resources underground. You play as a Douglas-fir tree in the Pacific Northwest, trying to get your seedlings started. To do this, you'll:
Build a shared forest containing mushroom tiles with diverse abilities,
Trade with those mushrooms to get resources, and
Place seedlings in advantageous positions to score points.
This game has been a real labor of love. I've been a mushroom aficionado for decades, and am absolutely fascinated by the hidden mycorrhizal relationships that literally make life as we know it possible. We've included dozens of real mushroom species in the game, with beautiful illustrations by Beth Sobel.
