Description

The year is 1739, and as aspiring naturalists and adventurers, you’ve been hired by the Comte de Buffon – Darwin’s predecessor – to help him create the first encyclopedia of natural history. To do so, you’ll be conducting research, organizing ambitious expeditions and publishing studies of the world’s most fascinating creatures! The aim of the game is to become the biggest contributor to Buffon’s encyclopedia. Encyclopedia is a dice-based worker placement game for 1-4 players, designed by Olivier Melison avec Eric Dubus, the authors of Museum and Dominations: Road to Civilization. Through a dice placement mechanic, you will be able to choose different animals to study, prepare for your research and lead expeditions to other continents. All this will allow you to reach your main goal: publishing your findings to impress the public and increase your fame!
