Undergrove
We went to BIFF this weekend to see the documentary The Hobby: Tales from the Tabletop, and to see Elizabeth Hargrave being interviewed by Aslak Raknes from Spillsalongen. Afterwards Elizabeth taught us how to play her game Undergrove. #elizabethhargrave #undergrove #tabletopgames #bergenfilmfest

I'm tempted by turn-by-turn gameplay because I lack time for regular live BGA gaming, but am worried that I'd forget to take my turn (or have too many games on the go, losing track). Plus I love the chitchat during live gameplay.
Oooh, I had missed seeing that #UnderGrove is now on BGA, thanks!

A wooden table with a number of boardgames elements scattered about. Beautiful fungal art, meeple-ey things and several teacups full of ginger tea.
FINALLY getting to play #undergrove and it is absolutely fantastic. The art is gorgeous, the gameplay intricate (much like the ecosystem its based on) and super fun! If you haven't already, you should definitely check it out.

Tonight me and my best boardgame people explored #undergrove for the first time. It didn't grab me as much as I thought it might. I enjoyed it but would be ok to not play it ever again. #boardgames

Good morning 😁,

I do have the umph to finally open the first of 3 games I bought while on vacation. Going to the #Boardgame store was one of my highlights.

Two people are smiling at the camera while playing the board game “Undergrove” at a wooden table. The game is set up with colorful cards, tokens, and player boards, alongside the game box featuring mushroom artwork. The scene conveys a cozy and cheerful game night atmosphere in a warmly lit room.
A close-up of the “Undergrove” board game setup, showcasing a stack of game cards, a wooden red mushroom token, and various green tree and leaf-shaped pieces. The player board displays instructions for game mechanics, alongside colorful tokens representing different actions. The background includes detailed game tiles featuring forest-themed illustrations.

About to play #Undergrove with @jridpath.bsky.social again! LOVE that there’s an Art Guide (with @bethsobel.bsky.social’s awesome art) with info about the #mushrooms (& some animals) in the game. cc: @elizhargrave.bsky.social

#Undergrove is a lot of fun! (My husband & I are playing again this aft) However, I *strongly* recommend watching some how-to and/or play-through videos before putting it on your wishlist, just in case it's not a good fit for your game group.

You can find out more about #Undergrove at www.alderac.com/undergrove/ but I *strongly* recommend watching some of the "how to play" videos here and on YouTube first. It may be a heavier/more complex game than your family is used to (depend on your usual games).

I agree! #Undergrove has SO much packed into it. I like the moving carbon mechanic - it makes me feel like I'm learning more about what trees do.
Have you tried solo play yet? I want to try that next.

A smiling couple enjoys a cozy board game night, with the woman proudly holding up the game box for "UnderGrove," featuring whimsical red mushrooms on the cover. The table is set with various game pieces, boards, and cards, creating a lively scene. Family photos and warm lighting add to the intimate atmosphere.
Close-up of the "UnderGrove" board game in action, featuring two tree-shaped game pieces standing on colorful cards depicting mushrooms and nature elements. The cards show detailed graphics and game icons, enhancing the forest-themed atmosphere. Game tokens are scattered in the background, hinting at an immersive gameplay experience.
UNDERGROVE is a gem of a game. Designed by @elizhargrave.bsky.social (WINGSPAN designer) & @har1equin.bsky.social, gorgeous art by @bethsobel.bsky.social.

An interesting example of a symbiotic relationship between game design & the use of a scientific premise as a believable mechanic. (Very much similar to the relationship between trees & fungi.)
"Gamifying what we know & don't know."

Question… what does the paw print and water droplet on the tiles mean? @elizhargrave.bsky.social #undergrove #boardgame
