Getting Started
- Each player selects a token and places it in the Hub
- Roll the dice — highest number becomes the Dean and goes first
- The Dean manages the app and settles disputes
- Players may move in any direction from the Hub
Gameplay and Gaining Your Degrees
- Tokens can land on a colour square, report space or Faculty
- Landing on a colour square prompts a question in that faculty
- Answer correctly and roll again
- If the next move lands you in a Faculty and you answer correctly, you receive that degree
- If you answer incorrectly, your turn ends
- You may change direction at each roll or intersection to reach a Faculty and earn a degree
Tuee Reports
- Landing on a Tuee Report space triggers a good or bad report
- Bad reports end your turn after following instructions
- Good reports let you follow instructions and continue
General Rules
- Fail a question in a Faculty? Leave on your next turn and re-enter later
- You may pass through the Hub, but landing there ends your turn (several tokens are permitted in the hub at a time)
- Only one token per colour space, report space or Faculty
- If no spaces are available, you cannot move (unless directed there by a Tuee Report)
- If an opponent answers another's question or prompts them, the opponent loses a turn and the player is asked a new question
- Only one degree per Faculty may be held
- Landing in a Faculty where you already have that degree or being directed there by a report card? Answer correctly to continue
Winning the Game
- Once you've earned the required degrees (4 or 6), head straight to the Hub — no questions or reports on the way
- You must land exactly on the Hub
- If you're one space away and roll a five, you cannot move
- Roll a one to enter and answer a final question of your choice
- Correct: you win
- Incorrect — wait for your next turn and try again
