Undergrove – Grow Your Forest Through the Hidden World Beneath the Trees!
Step into the fascinating underground ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest with Undergrove, a strategic board game where trees and fungi work together through remarkable symbiotic relationships.

Designed for 1–4 players ages 10 and up, with games lasting around 60–75 minutes, Undergrove offers a thoughtful and beautifully themed experience for families, strategy gamers, and players interested in nature and environmental themes.
