Morels
Two foragers, one forest path and a pan of mushrooms.
What it is
A gentle card game for two, and a good fit for couples who like a quiet contest. Eight cards lie face up along a forest path. The two nearest are free, and cards deeper in the woods cost foraging sticks. You cook sets of three or more mushrooms in a pan for points, or sell them for more sticks.
What we love
- Butter and cider raise the value of whatever you cook
- Cards leaving the trail drop into the Decay, which you can scoop up all at once
- The Destroying Angel is a real hazard, since taking it trims your hand to four cards until the end of your next turn
Honest trade-offs
- It is slower and more deliberate than Jaipur, so it is not the pick for a fast game
- A Destroying Angel cuts your hand limit to four until the end of your next turn, which can cost you a set you were saving
