Unnamed Farm Organisms is a board game released in 2018 for 2–7 players, 15–20 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Chen Po-Chiao and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Memory, and Pattern Recognition.
Introduction: As intergalactic biologists, players have a very important mission: cataloging and sending samples of newly discovered life forms back to the Intergalactic Institute of Natural Science (IINS). Every year, one remarkable biologist is granted the most prestigious internship in the universe. For the first time in the history of the IINS, there is more than one contender. To resolve the situation the finalists were sent to investigate one of the most unknown planets in the Milky Way: Earth. You are charged with the collection and naming of these strange earth creatures, starting with these places they call “farms”. It is best to avoid alerting these so-called “farmers” and definitely stay away from the dreaded Men In Black. The success of the mission may depend upon it. Game objective: During the game, players will re-name different Organisms. The objective is to remember the correct name for a given Organism and say it out loud. Each turn an Organism card will be revealed. The first player to call the Organism by its correct name wins the card. At the end of the game, whoever has the highest number of Organisms will be declared the most brilliant intergalactic biologist in the universe, winning the game.
Unnamed Farm Organisms supports 2–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Unnamed Farm Organisms is 15–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Unnamed Farm Organisms for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
