Encyclopedia
Welcome! We are in 1739 and as aspiring naturalists and adventurers, you have been hired by Count de Buffon – the predecessor of Darwin – to help him create the first encyclopedia of natural history. To achieve this, you will conduct research, organize ambitious expeditions and publish studies on the most fascinating creatures in the world!
The encyclopedia is a dice-driven worker placement game. At the start of each round, you will draw and roll dice. Then you will place them on your player's board. These dice can then be used to perform an action each round, depending on their color and value. Your action may be preparing your expeditions by going to the Embassy. Or visiting the Bank to raise funds, or finally hiring your research team at the University.
Once you are ready to start, you will choose the animal cards you want to study. Then you will organize expeditions to observe them in their natural habitat. When your research is complete, you will be able to publish your findings. You aim to become the greatest contributor to Buffon's encyclopedia. Each publication you make will earn you Victory Points.
At the end of the game, you will score points based on your collections of Animals and the research you gathered during the game. The naturalist with the most points wins!
