Welcome to Encyclopedia! 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!

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!

Encyclopedia was designed by Olivier Melison and Eric Dubus, the authors of Dominations: Road to Civilization and Museum. This expert worker placement game brings some fascinating new twists to the genre, offering multiple paths to victory. The game also offers a multitude of ways to counter the random element of your dice rolls. As well as being able to spend different tokens to change the value or color of a die, players have more than just their own dice to choose from, as other players dice can also be used! Taking a die from another player’s board does not cost anything, but the targeted player gains a bonus.

The game’s beautiful theme - with gorgeously illustrated animal cards - ties in strongly with its mechanics, making the rules easy to grasp so that you can jump straight in to devising the perfect strategy.

Great Size, Strong Enough for Everyday Use, and Worth Reordering
Size: 300 Count
I reorder these regularly, and that really says the most. They’ve been consistent, practical, and a good value for what you get. They’re strong enough to handle normal meals without feeling like they’re going to give way. I’ve had no issues using them for everyday food, and they hold up well as long as you’re using them as intended. I also like the size. They’re a little over 8½ inches, which works well for most meals. If I have something heavier, I can put a plate holder underneath, and these still fit just fine. The print/design is simple, which I don’t mind at all. I’m more concerned with how they perform, and these do what I need them to do. I’ve used name-brand paper plates before, and for my everyday use, I feel like these compare very well, especially considering the price. I’ll also be honest—paper plates just make sense for me. I tend to drop things because of how my hands work, so this helps prevent broken dishes and the cleanup that comes with that. Plus, it definitely cuts down on doing dishes. Overall, these are reliable, affordable, and something I’ll continue to reorder.

Great value and super convenient for everyday use!
Size: 300 Count
exactly what I needed for busy days and quick cleanups. They’re sturdy enough for everyday meals like sandwiches, snacks, and even lighter hot foods without getting soggy or falling apart. I love the convenience of having such a large pack on hand — it lasts a long time and is perfect for families, parties, or meal prep days. The size is just right for most meals, and they stack easily for storage. For the price and quantity, it’s a great deal and saves so much time on dishwashing. Definitely a household staple I keep restocking!

𝗠𝘆 𝗚𝗼-𝗧𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 & 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆!
Size: 300 Count, Size: 300 Count
I use these plates for everything. You'd think their adhesive-like fit to one another would mean they're flimsy. But no! Once you nail the knack of separating them, you'll find them sturdy and versatile! I use them for everything, especially when I don't have time to do dishes! A typical day involves working outside, running in to grab lunch on one of these plates, then using the plate to keep parts together for whatever I'm working on. A magnet underneath does wonders, combined with the plate lip to keep small bits from flying everywhere! I also use them under potted plants. If water seeps through the pot, it doesn't leak through the plate. The size and shape are fit for a hearty meal. The tall lip is firm and keeps juices or sauces from sloshing over. The price is unbeatable.
