Encyclopedia is a dice-based worker placement game. At the beginning of each round, you’ll be drawing and rolling dice, then placing them on your player board. These dice can then be used to perform an action each turn, depending on their color and value. Your action can be preparing your expeditions by going to the Embassy, visiting the Bank to raise funds, or hiring your research team at the University. Once you’re ready to go, you’ll choose the Animal cards you wish to study, then organize expeditions to observe them in their natural habitats. When your research is complete, you’ll then be able to publish your findings in an attempt to become the biggest contributor to Buffon’s Encyclopedia. Every publication you make will earn you Victory points, and at the end of the game, you’ll score points based on collections of Animals and research amassed during play. The naturalist with the most points wins!

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games. You can pry them out of my cold dead hands.
4.5 - Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc.
4.0 - Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience.
3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad.
3.0 - A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn't lose any sleep.
2.5 - A game I'd play again , but will never suggest it myself
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again
1.5 - A game I can't find any reason to recommend
1.0 - A game that is just bad.

I just rewatched after my first game with the delivered game. I agree with every point in this video. This is a gold medium weight title. It's a do a ton of stuff super set collection / resource management game. One comparison I'd make is that it's like a lighter version of Grand Austria Hotel. Looking forward to playing more games and with various player counts.

Game looks great, ready for production. Wish all prototypes were this well done. Theme is interesting, especially considering Darwin's Journey last year. The board is quite large, and I think I would prefer a board that can be separated and laid out in different ways, and just move the scoring elsewhere.

I was excited for this when I first saw it was coming. Now... not so much. It doesn't look like the animal / research aspect means anything other than a convenient place to put a cube. Looks like it was designed around mechanics then a theme was needed so it was slapped on. Appreciate the video Alex, now I know its not a game for me.

Have you played Genotype? These games feel very similar to me (much more similar than Wingspan, anyway) and I wonder whether a collection really needs both. Both are die-drafting games that involve researching traits and give bonuses for matching traits. Both have worker placement spots. Both have powerful experts. I think they both seem very good, but I have a hard time deciding whether someone would want to own both and if they don't, which one is better.

@fernpasq
@fernpasq 2 года назад
Besides theme, the most striking similarity I found to Wingspan is the luck of the card draw and almost no control over this... Thus one is still frustrated with not getting the animal he needs (as with the birds in Wingspan). Thus, it seems a heavier/more complex game, with the same vibes and problems... Well, I don't think it will replace the family-friendlier appeal of Wingspan... And I'll just keep my copy of Everdell.

This sounds amazing. You know, as you talking about it being a 5 of 5, but not TM, I started thinking - of your top 100, are they all 5’s? Or at some point do you drop your rating to a 4.5? A 4? And where. Next time you do a top (I guess end of year), what do you think of adding your ranking to each game? Or maybe just where you transition from levels? (That’s assuming your lowest 5 is above your top 4.5, and I can think of some reasons why that might not be the case,

@veedeviceable
@veedeviceable 2 года назад
Love the look and theme of the game. My only concern with it is after playing the other games by the designers (Museum and Dominations), both of which I enjoy, I've come to realize that while the mechanisms are sound, the actual physical play is a bit cumbersome or fiddly (e.g. repetition of take a token, spend a token in a higher volume than other games). Playthroughs I've seen of this seem to lean in that direction as well. Again, looks like a great game, might just be the constraints of physical tabletopping that will end up holding me back from backing this time around.

just some feedback from one man's perspective. the overview was so detailed and intense and explained so quickly that it was hard not to just check out from the video. your intro made me super pumped to hear more but i had to tap out of the exhaustive rules descriptions to go find another video. should an 'overview' really be 15 minutes long? i don't think so tbh. but i do like this channel, maybe a compromise could be to include a one minute primer so people can skip the full rules explanation if theyre inclined to, if that's something you would consider.

Played with a print and play and the game gave me a headache. It's much too long with 4 players (in 3.5 hours we only played 5 rounds and decided to pack up then). You score so many points it's silly, and you have to calculate all the combos. The game is super mathy, making you calculate for days. Not for me.
