GNOME HOLLOW: It's all about the mushrooms!

Post by DrClick »

Since the beginning of time, gnomes have been the humble caretakers of nature. In secret, they emerge from their underground homes to maintain meticulous rings of mushrooms known to the human folk as "fairy rings". But the work must be done quickly because as soon as a mushroom path is finished, the mushrooms are ready for picking. Who will be the cleverest gnome and harvest the most mushrooms by the end of the season?
 
Gnome Hollow is a spatial, tile-placement, worker-placement game in which you grow a tabletop garden of mushrooms and flowers. Every piece is a hand-painted watercolor that captures the whimsical feel of gnomes and nature. Turns are deceptively simple: Players place tiles into the garden, and move a gnome to take a single action on their turn. Come to Gnome Hollow and experience a peaceful garden, the thrill of competing to harvest buckets of mushrooms, and the reward of gathering in all your shiny treasures!
 
· Immerse yourself in Gnome Hollow, a captivating fun strategy game where players cultivate a vibrant garden of mushrooms and flowers using strategic tile and worker placement mechanics.

· Harvest valuable mushrooms by completing intricate rings, select rewarding bonuses, and sell your mushrooms at the market for the shiniest treasures for points in the hollow.

· Enjoy automatic score calculation on player boards, ensuring smooth game play and allowing you to focus on strategic decisions and garden development.
 
Note that the game is listed for the "Toy of the year award". Let's cross fingers! You can vote too ;)
 
Yes it has everything you can think of. The only thing to know is if you are ready to start it now by clicking the link below (and have a look at the easy to read rules):

There's a lot going on, and the game is pretty close to the original tabletop one, thanks to the work done by BanBan to adapt and develop it for Board Game Arena.
Let's mention the ones who allowed this to happen on our platform, the game designer Ammon Anderson and the team from The Op Games publishing.

That's it for your Wednesday dose of Board Game!
Try it now from your device, and let's discover a cool novelty today.
Until next week, take care and play fair!

Flanders is hidden in every one of these new game announcements. The BGA folks are big fans of him so include him as an Easter egg.

I don't recall how long ago, but I started commenting "Stupid sexy [whatever he's doing] Flanders" to serve as both a Simpsons reference and a hint for where he is or what he is posing as in the picture. The community has embraced it, to my delight. 😁

Question

https://boardgamearena.com/3/gnomehollo ... =591782544

Why can't I sell my 5 purple mushrooms? I've just sold some pink mushrooms (which is why the pinkx2 isn't available) and would like to sell 5 purple mushrooms - the slot is available and it'll be worth 12 points and it's the last round of the game.. and I am puzzled why the only selling options are 2x blue and 2x purple.

status currently shows I haven't played this turn because I have not committed the sale if I can't sell the purple ones!

Hi AriadneSP!

The tokens that cover the sale spaces (located on the left side of the board) are limited quantities and all of the purple tokens were used previously (there are fewer tokens than spaces to make the market more competitive). Because the tokens have run out, you can only sell pairs of purple, because the pairs column does not get covered by a token. It looks like there are only Yellow tokens left.

Hope this helps!
