Mushroom Cats! (™ pending) is an adorable card game about a mushroom hunt gone awry. Players compete to gather, steal, and magically transmute the most valuable collection of mushrooms they can before the picking is done and a winner is declared.

Each copy of the game includes 52 cards, the box, and play instructions

How to Play

The rules of Mushroom Cats! are quite simple, and players familiar with other pick-and-pass type games will have no trouble learning the rules. At the start of each round, players are dealt a hand of cards, then:

• Simultaneously select and reveal a card
• Resolve any special action cards that were played
• Pass their hands to the next player and select a new card, continuing until all cards are played

Once a round is complete, players total their score from their played cards to determine a winner. That's it!

Mushrooms Cats! was designed by Ben Lindstrom, whose previous game design credits include West Coast Megagames' productions of the social strategy games Sengoku and Watch the Skies. 

All the art for Mushroom Cats! was beautifully illustrated by PNW artist Kayla Carlson. You can check out more of her art at Paper Puffin. As a bonus, here's a brief process video on the making of Mushroom Cats!
