A Game of Gnomes

About this board game

A Game of Gnomes is an adventure board game for 2–4 players, with a playing time of about 90 minutes. In this 2015 game, each player takes on the role of a gnome leaving the safety of a beautiful gnomehome to seek treasure, mushrooms, and fortune in faraway places.

Your journey can take you in many directions. Sail a leaf boat down the river, climb Mount Gnome, or search for the rare and valuable Montane King mushroom. You might also visit the frightening Sorcerer and carry out his quests, adding a touch of danger and purpose to your travels.

For gnomes with a more practical outlook, the known world offers opportunities to buy and sell mushrooms. Sensible footwear, a proper basket, and a proper rucksack may help prepare you for life on the road, while your pointy hat, beard, and pond pipes complete the unmistakable gnome experience.

• Explore faraway places beyond the gnomehome.
• Seek treasure and collect valuable mushrooms.
• Climb Mount Gnome and sail a leaf boat down the river.
• Visit the Sorcerer and carry out quests.
• Buy and sell mushrooms across the known world.

With its playful wordplay and whimsical theme, A Game of Gnomes presents a lighthearted journey filled with choices about where to go and what fortune to pursue. Whether you are drawn to exploration, quests, trading, or rare mushrooms, the adventure begins when it is time to leave home.

Winter is numbing, so fix your hat, comb your beard, and get ready to go gnome and away.
