01 / THE CORE IDEA
How Shroom and Gloom works
You build a Combat deck for fights and an Explore deck for moving through dungeons, changing cards, and opening up new options. The game pairs hand-drawn art with 3D spaces and a surreal fungal setting. This overview is a starting point for deeper, task-specific guides.
YOUR SECOND DECK
Explore
Use the Explore deck to navigate dungeons, change cards, and unlock new options.
Two distinct decks shape a first-person roguelike run. This page is a starting point, not a full card list or walkthrough.
The beginner guide walks through the first-run decisions, and the card list covers what each starting card does.
