Using wooden and card pieces, you’ll carefully stack spores, stems, frills, and caps with tweezers, all within a limited space. The gameplay is simple yet challenging: each completed mushroom earns you a coin and an extra action, while taller mushrooms can secure bonus points at the end. The game has two main phases: the growing phase, where you build your mushrooms, and the harvest phase, where you carefully remove them using tweezers. But beware! One wrong move can topple everything.
