About the game

Undergrove is a board game from AEG, designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and Mark Wootton (2024). It plays 1–4 players in 60–75 minutes, for ages 10+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.0 out of 10 and call it medium (2.9 / 5 weight).

For over 300 million years, trees have traded nutrients with fungi in a vast underground network. Scientists continue to make new discoveries about this hidden world.

In Undergrove, you are a towering evergreen with an ancient symbiotic connection to the fungi in your forest. As new mushrooms appear, your options expand for converting nutrients and helping your seedlings. 

- Build a shared forest containing mushrooms with diverse abilities.
- Trade with the mushrooms to get resources based on the partnerships you’ve made.
- Place your seedlings in the most advantageous positions to score the most points.

Inspired by real mycorrhizal trading networks, Undergrove brings a hidden world to life with stunning artwork and engaging gameplay. Shape the destiny of your forest with every decision!
