Welcome to Encyclopedia! Set in the year 1739, players take on the role of aspiring naturalists and adventurers hired by the Comte de Buffon to help create the first encyclopedia of natural history. The game involves researching, organizing ambitious expeditions, and publishing studies on the world's most fascinating creatures.

Players engage in a dice-based worker placement mechanism, rolling and placing dice to perform actions that depend on the dice's color and value. You can prepare expeditions, gather funds, or hire research teams at the university, all while aiming to publish results and earn victory points. The game offers strategic depth with various pathways to victory and ways to mitigate the randomness of dice rolls.
