How to Host a God
A mushroom-themed storytelling card game for two players where the Mushroom God grows into an enormous power source through a human host over several acts (plus prelude/epilogue). Players narrate their actions to create and control characters, ultimately coming together but facing challenges as growth becomes unsustainable.
