About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey Undergrove fans! Ready to spice up your enchanted forest adventures? The Whispering Woods micro-expansion has arrived, bringing a special twist for those who already enjoy this universe. This little gem adds two new goal cards, offering extra challenges and fresh scoring opportunities, plus four new mushroom tiles. These tiles can change the game in surprising ways, opening up new strategies and tactics for you to explore. If you thought Undergrove was great, this expansion makes things even more engaging, with increased replayability and more exciting decisions. It's the kind of addition that doesn't overcomplicate things but makes a significant difference in gameplay. Perfect for those who want variety without learning a whole new game from scratch. Oh, and a heads-up: if you got the deluxe edition, this expansion is already included, so check if that's your situation! For those who are detail-oriented with rules, this expansion might require a bit more attention with card translations or the need for a reference sheet, but nothing a good group of friends can't handle quickly. Get your explorer hats on, and let's go mushroom hunting!
