About this game
Become the next Chancellor of a magic university by winning secret votes from consortium members. Each voter has hidden criteria: most gold, most spells cast, most rooms controlled. You must use divination to discover what the voters want, then outmaneuver rivals to meet those criteria. Workers are mages with unique powers who can be attacked, banished, or wounded. The worker placement is aggressive and asymmetric, the hidden scoring creates a deduction layer, and the university theme ties it all together brilliantly.
