Description
Calling all foragers! The new board game Undergrove, co-designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and Mark Wooten, is all about the symbiotic relationships between trees and fungi. Players assume the role of mature Douglas fir trees and partner with mushrooms, which represent the mycorrhizal network.
P.S. If the name "Elizabeth Hargrave" sounds familiar — she also designed the bird-collecting game Wingspan.
