Coming to Kickstarter very soon, Pedigree is a family board game based on actual genetic biology and real-life struggles of animal breeding to produce show ring champions and top-dollar animals. Your Action Cards allow you to do things like vaccinate against disease, use biotechnology, or hire a groom to help you win a trophy. Your Animal Cards are where you decide your matings, and choose which animals you will sell versus keep for breeding. You choose the best animals based on how they look, their phenotype, but phenotype is not a perfect indicator of their DNA. You won’t find out the true genetic value of the animal, or in other words, prove the animal, until you see their offspring. The best offspring are taken to the show, where you can win trophies to build your breeder reputation. Pedigree is played in about 60 minutes, and players perform most actions simultaneously, resulting in a fast pace with minimal player down time.
