"Card game for 2-4+ players. Each player represents a University."

The players play as one of two types of universities: "A Public University gets to draw 1 extra card on its first turn. A Private University may put 1 specialty card into play during the game."

The card deck includes five types of cards: School, Facility, Title, Specialty, and Event Cards. Event Cards have various effects. All of the other cards are used to describe characteristics of the player's university.

School Cards come in six suits: Associates Degree, Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree, Doctorate Degree, Research Institution, and World Class Institution. Each suit is worth a different amount of Curriculum Points. Facility, Title, and Specialty cards also add to the player's Curriculum Points total.

"The Player with the most Curriculum points at the end of the game wins."
