Mycelia is a great spatial puzzle where players race to remove magical dew drops from their forest game-board to the Shrine of Life (a magical tree trunk). It involves careful planning and decision-making, as players must choose the best actions. They analyze options and make strategic choices that will benefit the movement of their dew drops to quickly move them to the portal out of their forest. The first player to empty their board is the winner.
Players start with a basic deck of cards and gradually build a more powerful deck by acquiring new cards over the course of the game. Players draw cards to try to get the heroes into the deck by using the currency for stronger actions.
