Pegasus Spiele FUNG Fungi Card Game, Multicolour

Product Information

And we have a trail in front of us, winding its way through a dangerous forest full of perils and traps.

An easy go-to on a cold, Tuesday night, its theme is strong enough to transport me to a roaring camp-fire with the smell of buttery mushrooms lifting in the air. You can take a card from the forest ahead of you, or you can gather up all the cards that have ‘decayed’. The Day Deck then refills the forest from the back, creating the effect of a walk in the woods in which some strategic morsels are collected, some are passed by, and others lay ahead. Bound by a number of Traditions detailing the creation, behavior and destruction of Kindred, the sect also strives to hide to existence of all vampire activity from mortal eyes. Depending on which way you put it, you can have your mushroom box look either happy or dead and sad, you decide!If you're hungry, put a pan on the fire and bask in the aroma of chanterelles as you sauté them in butter. If this is the card you’ve waited all game for, it’s incredibly frustrating to be able to collect it but not be able to play it. The shoes will be placed below the two cards furthest from the draw pile, which is made up of the remaining forest cards. Or more plausibly, picking mushrooms in a forest full of heroin addicts that are getting so drugged up that they’re losing their cooking paraphernalia.

I like to try and collect odd cards to spite my opponent, but with a strict hand limit this can be risky. Once the draw pile is emptied and the forest floor depleted, each player tallies up their points and the one with the highest amount wins. Collect three or more of any one type and cook them in a pan to score flavour points, or exchange two more more of a kind for sticks. Fungi is a brilliantly creative game – its elements are very simple but beautifully illustrated, with each card having enough individuality and character to make it identifiable without needing to know the name of each mushroom. That makes sense because the simple rules and cute artwork are intended to be catered for younger players.These age classifications reflect the content of these games and DVDs (violence, language, sex, drug use etc).

Note: One of the crypt cards, Osric Vladislav, was left out of the original Keepers of Tradition print run and is here available for the first time. If you like party games, this is the one to read – a feature straight from our special issue of Tabletop Gaming Magazine giving you the top 50 party games ever. These are acquired in exactly the same way as your mushrooms, suggesting forcefully you’re stealing stuff directly out of kitchens as you saunter past. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. My son and I enjoy the challenge of choosing what to collect and what to let rot (how does a frying pan rot?It’s an engine building point salad kind of game, and like Wingspan there are public goals that get randomized each game to keep things fresh.

Each type of mushroom is numbered based on its flavour and exchange value (for sticks) – however, the higher the value, the rarer the mushroom, which means there is limited availability as the draw pile runs low.Whether you're a board gamer, card gamer, wargamer, RPG player or all of the above, find your copy here.
