Genius Games Genotype

STRATEGICALLY COMPLEX - 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.

WORKER PLACEMENT - Place workers to gain a number of advantages before the dice draft each round and block your opponents from taking those same actions.
