Great euro
19.99 is a freakin steal. Really enjoyed our first playthru. Tight game, interesting player-driven economy

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.

No muy contento con el estado de la caja al llegar
El juego es un euro duro, de esos que son pura mecánica. La caja llegó en mal estado, rota en un esquina. Lástima por eso. El juego en sí es un tanto seco, mecánico. Solo para los Fans de la escuela italiana.

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?
