Genotype: A Mendelian Genetics Game is a really fun and engaging game that I’ve been enjoying with my family. It’s a worker placement game where you play as Gregor Mendel's assistants, competing to collect experimental data on pea plants. The game is very thematic, and it does a great job of teaching you about genetics. It can be a bit complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a lot of fun.

The game is really well-made, with great components. The dice, tokens, and cards are all high quality and the board is beautiful. The game is also very replayable, with many different strategies that you can employ. My family has really enjoyed playing it, and it’s become one of our favorites. The game is also great for homeschooling. Overall, I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys worker placement games or games with a science theme.

I’ve read a lot of reviews and I’ve found that most people really enjoy the game. Some reviewers say that the game can be a bit complicated at first, but that it’s easy to learn once you get the hang of it. Others say that the game is a lot of fun and that it’s a great way to learn about genetics. The most common complaint I’ve seen is that the setup can be a bit tedious, but that’s a minor complaint in my opinion.

Overall, I think Genotype: A Mendelian Genetics Game is a great game for anyone who enjoys worker placement games, games with a science theme, or games that are educational. If you’re looking for a new game to add to your collection, I definitely recommend checking this one out.
