Game Arrivals: Aug. 3rd – 8th

Come in and see this week’s game arrivals.
Welcome squires to Medieval Academy,
the place where you’ll be trained to become a knight. You’ll have to master the
arts of Jousts and Tournaments, complete dangerous Quests, and polish your
Education. You’ll also have to serve the king, and show that you have a sense
of Charity and Gallantry. Only one of you will be knighted by King Arthur, so
it’s time to show what you’re capable of.

– Father Advean Nicolus Emilius, chairman of the Medieveal Academy

Medieval Academy
Iello
Medieval Academy, is a card drafting game where players are squires vying for Chivalry points on various game tiles played over 6 rounds.  The tiles are double sided and represent the different types of knighthood training: gallantry, jousts, tournaments, education, king’s service, quests, and charity.  Players begin with a hand of 5 cards, simultaneously choose 1 to keep and then pass their remaining cards to next player. You will continue in this manner of choosing cards to keep and passing until you have 5 cards again. Then in turn order players will play one of their cards. The cards advance you around the tracks on the knighthood tiles where you’ll earn your Chivalry points.  Players must wisely draft the cards that are the most useful to them and play them at the right time to move their discs up the training tracks.  At the end of turn 6, the squire who has the most Chivalry Points wins the game and is knighted by King Arthur!
