Scientific knowledge doesn't always advance in predictable patterns. Help Gregor Mendel test his paradigm-shifting hypotheses in Genotype: A Mendelian Genetics Game. Up to five players work as research scientists alongside Mendel, collecting experimental data and learning the fundamentals of genetics. Each round, scientists compete over a shared pol of offspring dice that are rolled to simulate genetic inheritance. Track dominant and recessive phenotypes, hypothesize outcomes, and watch hereditary principles in action. While waiting for the next generation of plants, work to set research goals, acquire powerful tools, and secure funds for hiring assistants or purchasing upgrades. The scientist who sows the most plants and best predicts the results reaps victory.

For 1-5 players ages 14+. Game duration 45-75 minutes.
