We are Mushrooms

"I played this with a group of 5 and had a blast. Probably more talkative than the game expected, with one player drawing the map and another keeping the journal. Perfect cozy storytelling game." - M. Allen Hall You are a mushroom. You don’t move. You don’t speak. You simply grow, observe, and wait. Seasons come and go. Knights, foxes, monks, and other wanderers pass through your forest clearing—each leaving their mark. You silently observe as they build shrines, bury treasures, and steal dropped coins. You might even be eaten, but that’s okay. You’ll grow back. It’s just nice to be a mushroom for a while. Amigurumi mushroom crochet pattern inside!
