About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a forest adventure in Bolets! Grandma is waiting for you with a delicious pie, but to make it, you need to fill the pantry with mushrooms. The challenge is that the forest can be treacherous, and it's easy to get lost. Bolets is a solo game with 9 cards, super quick (about 10 minutes to play), and you can set it up in the blink of an eye. The idea is simple: you'll overlap the cards that form the map and trace a safe path, from card to card, until you reach Grandma's house. But beware! Along the way, cunning crows might disrupt your plans, and you need to arrive with at least one 'life' remaining. The goal is to collect as many mushroom points as possible to beat your previous high score. It's an abstract little game that tests your ability to plan routes and manage space, all in a tiny package. Perfect for those moments when you want a quick, smart challenge without the fuss. You can print the cards and play whenever you want, a real gem for fans of compact puzzles and strategic games.
