Description
In Alma Mater, you take on the role of a headmaster at a 15th century university, competing to build the most prestigious institution. With 2 to 4 players, you'll navigate the complexities of recruiting top staff and students, sharing knowledge with rival schools, and mastering four key disciplines. The game's intricate rules may take some time to learn, but the payoff is worth it - a deeply strategic experience that challenges you to balance short-term goals with long-term ambitions. As you play, you'll use a range of mechanics, from drafting and hand management to tile placement and worker placement, to build your university's reputation and standing. With playtime ranging from 90 to 150 minutes, Alma Mater is a substantial game that rewards careful planning and clever tactics. Will you emerge as the most respected headmaster, or will your rivals outmaneuver you?
