What is Age of Academics
Age of Academics is an original domestic German-style board game that combines multiple mechanisms with historical and cultural themes. Here is a detailed introduction:
Number of Players and Duration: It supports 1-4 players, with 3 being recommended. A single game takes about 40 minutes per player, and its complexity is estimated at 3.3/5, making it a medium to heavy strategy board game suitable for advanced players.
Game Mechanisms: It incorporates mechanisms such as auction, DBG (Deck-Building Game), worker placement, and area control. There are 8 schools of thought from the Warring States period available for players to choose from (with the Miscellaneous School being controlled by AI). Each school has unique skills and initial settings. For example, the Taoist school follows the concept of "governing by non-interference" and gains passive benefits; the Mohist school adopts the "Juzi System" where collective actions are more effective. Players can use a combination of characteristic DBG deck building and worker placement, utilizing card effects like drawing and discarding cards, along with workers' actions to execute strategies.
