Genotype: A Mendelian Genetics Game is a worker-placement, dice-drafting game for 15 players that takes about 4575 minutes to play. As researchers at St. Thomass Abbey, where Gregor Mendel discovered modern genetics in the 19th century, you must validate the genetic traits of your pea plants to score points. Each round centers on the dice draft, where Punnett squares and beautiful custom dice determine which dominant and recessive genes are available for the next generation of plants. Before and after each draft, you will have many opportunities to spend resources and place workers to improve your chances. Manipulate Punnett squares to increase your odds or reduce other players chances of producing certain phenotypes. Upgrade your garden, determine your draft order, purchase one-use tool cards, and hire other members of the abbey as powerful assistants to improve your chances of winning. Money is tight in Genotype, and every decision matters, so expect deep strategy and fierce competition in this Mendelian genetics game. Instructions: 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.
