Ravensburger’s latest game is getting kids unplugged and into nature.
Designed for preteens, Mycelia is a deck-building game that is entirely mushroom-themed. To win the game, kids must collect unique mushrooms and leaves to help clear the board of dewdrops. As dewdrops are cleared from the board, players add them to the Shrine of Life. The artwork featured in Mycelia is seriously gorgeous, featuring pastel clouds, crystal-colored water, and larger-than-life mushroom characters!

“Every illustration is inspired by real mushrooms and includes the mushroom’s scientific name,” says Chiara Bellavite, Ravensburger Art Director. “The art style is cozy, magical, and warm, but we also wanted each mushroom to evoke a distinct personality that reflected the mushroom’s real-world characteristics or common uses. Some mushrooms are mysterious, some are adventurous, and some are joyful. Mycophiles might recognize the educational ‘easter eggs’ behind the illustrations, such as the Lycoperdon perlatum that really puffs spores when touched.”
Kids can play Mycelia in a group or on their own. If they choose to venture into the forest on their own, they must face Gwidyon, the Ghost Mushroom. The gameplay lasts around 45 minutes, which is perfect for a cozy night of playing games.
