Caps & Stems: Mushrooms of the World

Play cards representing a variety of fungi (~150 different species in the base game) onto your playmat, stacking them according to similar traits, to score points and gain spores. Spend spores to acquire game pieces representing the traits you need to assemble your mushroom (delicious, poisonous, smelly, ringed, pored, etc.) then grow them onto a shared map - scoring points based on the traits of neighboring mushrooms. Level up expertise in a particular trait to unlock special powers. Secret bonus cards give additional points depending on how you stacked your cards. Each mushroom card's traits are based on the traits of its real-world counterpart. —description from the designer
