Mushroom Cats! 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. A clowder of cats has descended on your mushroom foraging trip, causing no end of mayhem. Your goal is simple: harvest the best basket of mushrooms you can find before the day is up, but watch out! These cats are behaving very strangely, and might steal or enchant your mushrooms! Collect the most points to win. 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!
