-
STRATEGICALLY COMPLEX - In this worker placement, dice drafting game, play as research scientists discovering genetics in a 19th-century abbey. Draft from a pool of dice to validate genetic traits. Ensure the traits you need are available by using worker placement actions to manipulate the dice roll. Employ a cunning strategy to claim the best actions and resources before your opponents.
-
WORKER PLACEMENT - Place workers to gain a number of advantages before the dice draft each round and block your opponents from taking those same actions. Hedge your bets by picking up tool cards and additional pea plants, or influence the draft directly by determining turn order, altering the Punnett Square calculations, and even purchasing additional dice slots.

About Genotype: A Mendelian Genetics Game | A Science
Genotype: A Mendelian Genetics Game is a worker-placement, dice drafting game for 1-5 players that plays in about 45-75 minutes. As research scientists in St. Thomas’ Abbey, where Gregor Mendel discovered modern genetics in the 19th century, you’re tasked with validating the genetic traits of your pea plants to score points. Rounds are centered around the dice draft, where Punnett squares and beautiful custom dice are used to determine which dominant and recessive genes are available for the next generation of plants. But you’ll have plenty of opportunities before and after each draft to pay resources and place workers to improve your chances. Manipulate Punnett Squares to increase your chances, or decrease other players’ chances, of specific phenotypes appearing. Upgrade your garden, determine your drafting order, purchase single-use Tool cards, and hire other members of the Abbey as powerful Assistants to increase your chances of winning. Money is tight in Genotype and every decision matters, so expect deep strategy and stiff competition in this Mendelian genetics game.
