I, for one, am sick of the harmful stereotypes of mushrooms perpetuated in the media. If you’d like to play an awesome game that offers a more authentic and friendly fungus experience, Mycelia is currently on sale at Amazon for its lowest price ever. Usually $39.99, this winner of Austria’s 2024 Spiel der Spiele (Game of the Year) award, is discounted to just $21.98.
Designed for up to four players, Mycelia is a thematic, family-friendly deck-building game where players compete against each other to remove dew drops from the forest, represented by tokens on a modestly-sized grid. This is accomplished by assembling a roster of adorable mushroom characters, which can be expanded by spending currency earned in-game. Each character affects the board differently by either moving or removing dewdrops and expanding potential actions for your turn. The simple, but engaging gameplay is a great family game, thanks largely to the extensive use of diagrams and pictures, which make reading an optional skill for younger players.
