I think it would be more fun to just buy some mushrooms and eat them.

You never know, this could be the breakout hit that the mushroom genre has been missing.

I can't wait for "Even Morels" that increases player count to 4.

It goes against my morels to play boring crap like this.

I thought that for boardgamers, "strategic foraging and feasting" is deciding what part of the buffet to hit first- the carver or the ice cream.

This was actually posted on reddit (yes I don't know why I keep poking my head in there) as an example of good box art...I'm just speechless:

I suspect that most of the posts in this thread will feature box art containing epic wizards fighting zombie aliens in space or whatever, but Morels is a beautifully illustrated game, and the cover reflects that.


We ought to come up with a game about watching grass grow. We could call it "Fescue".

Those are the most disturbing penises (penii?) I've ever seen.

Not that I've seen a ton of them or anything. Aw, fuck it.

Kickstarter it. You'll come up with about $20k. Then design it.

FESCUE RESCUE!

You and your life partner combine intellects in this challenging romp through the wilds of the dangerous out-of-doors! The Annual Best Lawn Contest approaches and your backyard is unsightly! One player determines a suitable watering and fertilization schedule (mind the season!), while the other optimizes gnome placement and trapping fiendish gophers (humanely, of course, LOL!!)

The name "Fescue Rescue" sounds lighthearted and fun, not dry and serious enough to join the ranks of "These Games Of Ours".

Yeah, but if it's "Delightful" and "clever" they'll adopt it as one of Those Games of Theirs. Especially if it has a cutey-poo name like "Fescue Rescue". They love that shit. Halunken und Spelunken, Dickle-Dackle, Hoity Toity, Drunter und Druber, Flippy Flappy, Humpin' Hedgehogs, Oopsie Poopsie, and so on.

Plus, there's always those guys that are so into a dumb theme like this "Oh, I cut my grass...I can relate to that theme." "I'm so tickled at how they captured the concept of grass growing...it's dripping with theme."

You are obviously part of the 1% keeping the rest of us pinned underneath the heal of your stylish and expensive diamond encrusted hobnail boot.

For the rest of us board gaming hoi paloi, foraging and feasting is overturning the couch cushions and deciding on whether to go for the fossilized cheese doodle or the potato chip shrapnel first.

Sounds like you need to play some elimination games, Repo. That way, the first person eliminated becomes a manservant and is forced to fetch chips and drinks all night, having wasted their entire evening even bothering to show up for game night. The strategic foraging and feasting then is deciding whether to eat the Doritos in the green bowl, the red bowl, or to just knock them in the floor and make Mr. Eliminated pick them up.

I love how we have all completely glossed over the obvious penis issue in this thread except for Ken B.
