📖 About This Game
"Mycelium is a resource necessary to mushroom life, but it is becoming increasingly scarce. The little creatures will fight to take over the last Mycelium stocks."
In Mycélium, players are trying to get the most points by capturing opposing mushrooms. The game contains 60 Mushroom cards numbered from 1 to 10, in 6 different colors. In the beginning 9 cards are laid in a 3x3 grid and the remaining cards are split evenly in three stacks.
On their turn, players choose a mushroom card to attack an orthogonaly adjacent mushroom card. In order to attack, you need a higher value than the defending mushroom card, with the exception of the 1 being able to attack the 10. The attacking card is placed face up in front of the player, and the attacked card goes face down to the player's score pile. Throughout the game, each player will only be allowed to attack with three different colors of cards.
The game ends when a player cannot make a legal move or after a given number of round. Whoever collected the most points (summing up their scored cards) wins the game.
A solo mode is also available.
