Alderac Entertainment Group announced Under Grove, a new board game by Elizabeth Hargrave and Mark Wooton with illustrations by Beth Sobel, which will head to retail soon.

The design team for this game, Hargrave and Wooton, first worked together on Mariposas (see "'Mariposas'").  In Under Grove, an area control game, players take on the roles of Douglas fir trees in the Pacific Northwest, looking to establish new seedlings.  To get the seedlings to grow into trees, the players must make use of mushrooms to build engines and manage resources.  The player that grows the best set of seedlings will win the game.

This game is for one to four players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 60 to 90 minutes.  Thus far, there is no word on MSRP for this product.
