About Seeker of Spells, from BoardGameGeek:

In the heart of the Enchanted Sporewood, mushroom wizards sprout from ancient fungi once every hundred years to compete in the Grand Mycelium Games-a magical contest of wits, stealth, and spellcraft. Each player guides a pair of wizards across the ever-shifting forest floor, secretly choosing cardinal directions to move, outmaneuver rivals, and collect powerful spellbooks. Every book added to your stack increases your magical prestige-but no collection is ever safe. Crafty opponents can pilfer your hard-earned tomes, and special powers earned along the way can open unexpected opportunities. As the forest twists, paths change, and opportunities appear and vanish, players must balance timing, positioning, and a little daring to stay ahead. When the spores settle, the wizard with the most valuable spellbook collection wins the Grand Mycelium Games! -description from the publisher
