About the game

What you do in a play session

The mushroom foraging season continues with Morels: Foray, an expansion that supercharges the base game for up to 4 players! If you enjoyed the peaceful vibe of collecting mushrooms in the woods, get ready: nature is a bit more wild now. With new item cards, characters, weather events, and even brand-new mushrooms, Foray adds an extra layer of strategy and interaction. The weather can now change the game, with thunderstorms and forest fires shaking up the card forest. New items and characters bring unique abilities to help you optimize your foraging or hinder opponents. The big twist is that from 3 players onwards, the forest becomes more dynamic, and the 'peek cards' system gives you a glimpse of what's coming, aiding in planning. With 3 players, you also get a special bonus action. In 4-player mode, a priority marker rotates among players each round, adding an interesting dynamic when choosing cards simultaneously. This simultaneous selection mechanic keeps the pace brisk and minimizes downtime, forcing you to anticipate others' moves and adapt quickly. Morels: Foray not only expands tactical options but also adds a richer social texture, making each game a new adventure in the forest. It's the perfect choice for those who want more Morels and new ways to explore the world of mushrooms!
