Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Mycelia, players start with identical decks and improve them throughout the game to race in clearing their playing fields of dewdrops first. Supported by mysterious forest dwellers, you develop new skills and bring sacred dewdrops to the Shrine of Life to gain the forest goddess' favor. The game features double-sided player boards for increased variability and combines deck, bag, and pool building with grid movement and race mechanics.
Who Is This Game For?
Mycelia is designed as a family game suitable for children aged 9 and up, accommodating 1 to 4 players. With an average playtime of about 45 minutes, it fits well into shorter gaming sessions. The included solo mode allows single-player play. The rules are accessible, making it suitable for players without extensive prior experience.
How It Works
Each player begins with the same deck and improves it using deck, bag, and pool building mechanics. Through grid movement, players collect dewdrops and race to bring them to the shrine. The game’s race element adds urgency to the tactical movement. The solo mode offers a solo experience with similar mechanics.
