Fun midweight game
Not sure why this game doesn't get more love. It's a pretty elegant euro game with decent decision space and multiple parts to consider. Production is great, and when it's on sale for less than $30, it's a great value.

Looks a bit intimidating, but a good game
This game has a complex setup and appears to have a ton of rules. Its a modified version of a worker placement/action selection game where each player is trying to establish the most prestigious university through careful selection of the proper combination of students, teachers, and class upgrades. Its very much a point salad type game with many different possible choices.I haven't gotten a ton of games in so I can't say if any one strategy is the best. The game is so complex that its difficult to bring to the table and analysis paralysis is definitely a possibility.Still its interesting and definitely pushes the players into thinking and careful consideration of their choices. so for me, its a 4 star.

Educated mess
Depending on whoch professors & busts you select during setup, actions and the game economy can get very tight. This leads to a smothering vibe where no player feels like he or she is getting anywhere. Ironically, it feels too long despite having few round, with few actions to take… pretty book pieces and nice art tgo?

Setup Took Two Hours
Insanely complicated to learn and set up, and I have a PhD. By the time we got it set up, it was bedtime. My 12-year old was disappointed he spent a bunch of money on the game. Not sure we will ever get to play it since set-up takes so long and the rules are so baroque. Also weird to have “prestige” as the point of the game.

Great game
Takes a bit to learn. But original and challenging enough in gameplay to be worth it.Theme and components (which are too-notch) help with learning. Rewarding to play if you want to jump to a tighter, more challenging game than castles of burgundy, grand Austria hotel, or Coimbra.
