Description

The woods are old-growth, dappled with sunlight.  Delicious mushrooms beckon from every grove
and hollow.  Morels may be the most
sought-after in these woods, but there are many tasty and valuable varieties
awaiting the savvy collector.  Bring a
basket if you think it’s your lucky day. 
Forage at night and you will be all alone when you stumble upon a
bonanza.  If you’re hungry, put a pan on
the fire and bask in the aroma of chanterelles as you sauté them in butter.

Morels
is a light strategy card game for 2 players. 
The object of the game is to collect and cook a better collection of
mushrooms that your opponent.  On a turn,
a player can take a mushroom that is near them at the edge of the forest or with
the aid of a walking stick, trek deeper into the forest to snatch a tastier
variety.  Nearby mushrooms that are not
selected move into a decay pile after every turn.  There is a short window of opportunity to
take mushrooms from the decay pile, but if you do, you must take everything in
the pile.  This could contain things you
need like mushrooms, frying pans, butter, or cider, etc.  However, the pile could also contain the
deadly Destroying Angel Mushroom.  This
mushroom makes you ill and limits your size for several rounds.  The game continues until the deck of forest
cards is exhausted.  The player with the
best sets of mushrooms in frying pans in front of them will be the winner.  Mushrooms must be collected in sets of 3 or
more and can be spiced with butter and/or cider for bonus points.  May the best forager win!
