AEG: Undergrove - Strategy Board Game, Nature Resource Management, Token Collection & Tile Laying, Tree Growing, Ages 10+, 1-4 Players, 60-90 Mins

UNDERGROVE - For over 300 million years, trees have traded nutrients with fungi in a vast underground network. Scientists continue to make new discoveries about this hidden world. In Undergrove, you are a towering evergreen with an ancient symbiotic connection to the fungi in your forest. As new mushrooms appear, your options expand for converting nutrients and helping your seedlings. Inspired by real mycorrhizal trading networks, Undergrove brings a hidden world to life with stunning artwork and engaging gameplay. Shape the destiny of your forest with every decision! As the game progresses, your goal is to advance your Carbon track disc, symbolizing the absorption of essential nutrients for your offspring's growth. Score points based on the number of Roots your Seedlings possess and their corresponding Carbon levels, with each Root's value determined by its location on the Mushroom tile. Place your Seedling and Root tokens amidst Mushroom tiles, utilizing your Roots to trade for vital resources and bolster your forest's vitality.
