Medieval Academy (Second Edition) - Card Drafting, Strategy Board Game, Chivalry, Tournaments & Adventure, Ages 8+, 1-5 Players, 30 Min

MEDIEVAL ACADEMY - "Welcome, young Students, to Medieval Academy, our Chivalry School. For the next six months, we will train you. You will have to excel at jousting and the tournaments, perfect your studies in the codices of our library, and even go on perilous quests in the service of our fair king. During these sessions, you will gain or lose points, and, at the end of the semester, the Student who earned the most points will be knighted by King Arthur himself!" Medieval Academy is a fast, dynamic family game. It is a simple card game with very intuitive rules: When you play a red 3 card, you move 3 spaces on the red track. The core of the game is the card drafting between players. Choices have to be made every turn. The gameplay is fluid, as everyone plays at the same time, and it is very interactive. The depth of the gameplay comes from thoughtful timing and risk taking in each round versus longterm planning for the whole game. And the added strategic levers of the back of the board will make players come back.

• Students will try to excel in each of the 7 CHIVALRY COURSES at Medevial Academy. First of all, they must cleverly pick the most useful cards. Then play these cards to move their tokens forward on each track & try to score as many points as possible.
• FAST & DYNAMIC: As you move along tracks, trigger various bonuses and scoring, which means you always have to keep an eye on the other players' movement too!
• INTRO TO CARD DRAFTING: Choose a card from your hand, then pass the remaining cards to the next player who will choose from those options on their next turn. The game ends after six rounds and the Student with the most points will win!
• ADVANCED VARIANT: The back of the board has an entirely new playing mode that changes the rules for each of the tracks and adds new strategy to the game.
• 1- & 2-PLAYER MODES: Discover special tweaks that make the gameplay engaging and balanced no matter the player count! Chivalry - A Future-Proof Career Plan
