Our Expert Score

82/100

Morels is a digital adaptation of the popular card game that perfectly captures the tension of forest foraging. It’s a game of 'push your luck' where you have to balance the urge to collect as many mushrooms as possible with the reality of your limited hand size. The art is rustic and thematic, making the simple act of 'walking' through the woods to pick a Chanterelle or a Morel feel quite immersive.

The strategic depth comes from knowing when to cook your mushrooms for points and when to sell them for sticks, which allow you to reach deeper into the forest. The AI provides a decent challenge, but the real joy is in the 2-player competitive matches. It’s a quiet, thoughtful game that rewards planning and adaptability, making it a must-play for fans of tabletop gaming on the go.

Tips

Managing Your Basket

You have a limited hand size. If your hand is full, you must either cook mushrooms using a pan card or sell them to gain 'sticks' which let you bypass common mushrooms to get the ones you actually need.

Using Night Cards

Drawing a moon card allows you to take a mushroom from the special 'night deck.' These mushrooms are worth double the value of their daytime counterparts when cooked.
