Okay, so I randomly bought Mycelia because... mushrooms? And wow, this game is an absolute delight! The artwork is STUNNING—those little mushroom characters (mushfolk?) are adorable and full of personality. Each card feels like a tiny piece of art.

The gameplay is simple to learn but gets surprisingly strategic. At first, I thought it might be too easy, but then my friend absolutely destroyed me by optimizing their deck. The "dice rolling" (well, dewdrop rolling) mechanic is genius—it adds just enough randomness to keep things exciting without feeling unfair.

What I love most is how versatile it is. Played it solo against the ghost mushroom (challenging!), with my partner (competitive!), and at a game night with 4 people (chaotic fun!). The shrine building aspect makes every game feel different.

Small complaint: the box arrived with some corner damage. Not game-breaking, but annoying for collectors. Also, sleeve those cards immediately—you'll be shuffling constantly!

Final verdict? 10/10 would recommend to anyone who enjoys light strategy games with incredible theming. Even my "I hate board games" friend asked to play again!
