A new game by Elizabeth Hargrave and Mark Wootton

Designers: Elizabeth Hargrave & Mark Wootton
Illustration: Beth Sobel

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. Using cube conversion, tile placement, area control, and a tiny bit of engine building, you’ll need to claim the most advantageous locations and optimize your actions to leave the best legacy in the forest.

  • 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!

Holiday Trees

Every backer of the Undergrove campaign that is also a subscriber to our newsletter will receive a cardboard constructible holiday tree in each player color. These trees can be used when playing Undergrove, making your forest festive for the holiday season.

If you are interested in a nature game that is easy to learn but has lots of depth, has gorgeous artwork, and some really weird mushroom names, then check out Undergrove.

This game is about something I didn't know: How the mushrooms and the trees work together to survive. I think it's super cool, that's something I never thought about and so I actually care about the theme.

I think the rule book does a really good job, by the way, of talking about the point of all of this, the reason of the symbiosis that we get from the nature.
