Description

In The Mushroom Eaters, 2 to 5 players embark on a psychedelic adventure, guiding their apprentices through a journey of self-discovery and exploration. As they consume a drink made from the psilocybin mushroom, each player enters a shared state of consciousness, navigating the challenges and wonders of their own minds. With the Shaman's guidance, players must work together, using a hand of cards to advance along the Action Path, a unique mechanic that can either help or hinder the group's progress. As players journey through the game, they aim to gain Experience by awakening to new understandings and building wisdom from profound revelations. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 90 minutes, The Mushroom Eaters offers a thrilling adventure for players, set against the backdrop of an ancient, mystical world. Designed by Nate Hayden and first published in 2013, this base game is perfect for those looking for a fun and immersive experience.
