There are certain games at 401 that we recommend constantly but for some reason, no one ever seems to come in looking for them. These are the ones that we think everyone should have in their collections but you probably haven't heard of it.
Play Time: 40-60 minutes
Number of players: 2 players
Demographic: Ages 10 and up
Price: $19.95 at 401 Games
We often get couples coming in asking for 2-player game suggestions, and Morels is certainly one of the better strategic games made for pairs. Be warned! This game may make you crave the succulent flesh of mushrooms. The objective of the game is to collect mushrooms and cook them in buttery sizzling glory to earn victory points.
Morels demands skills in hand management and memory. The selection of available cards cycles every turn as older cards go into a "decay" pile. So there's some strategy involved in terms of making sure you pick up the cards you want while consciously leaving available cards that your opponent may need next turn. There's plenty of room for other avenues to success. Will you patiently collect a set of the best mushrooms or go the fast route of cooking up less valued morsels?
A game lasts within an hour on average and doesn't require a ton of commitment in terms of set-up or reading a behemoth of a manual. So it's a great pick for people looking to fit in some quality gaming in between all of life's other obligations.
Look for Morels in the small games section at 401 Games.
