Mycology (2024)

About this game

Explore the forest floor through the changing seasons and discover a wondrous array of fungi. As a mycologist, you'll collect and classify a wide array of real fungi from around the world by collecting the resources they need to grow. Roll dice to collect resources as you move through the seasons. Use resources to fill your basket with mushroom cards, which are worth points at the end of the game. Be careful when collecting poison mushrooms, as they may hurt your score! The game ends once a player has completely filled their basket. Mycology is a fun and approachable game for all ages and experience levels, is for 2-6 players, and plays in 45-60 minutes. Perfect for a cozy afternoon - perhaps with a steaming mug of mushroom soup! -description from developer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
