## Description
Welcome to the Medieval Academy, future knight! In Medieval Academy, each of you is a squire in training, competing to impress King Arthur and be the one chosen to receive the coveted knighthood. Over six turns, you'll dive into a world of jousts, tournaments, dangerous quests, and studies to improve your education and demonstrate charity and gallantry. The game is a "family+", meaning it's accessible for the whole family but with a touch of strategy that appeals to more experienced players. The core mechanic revolves around a closed card draft: you'll secretly choose the most useful cards for your ambitions each round, and then everyone reveals and plays their cards simultaneously. The trick is to manage your hand well and know the right time to use each card to advance your pawns on the training tracks. Whoever accumulates the most Chivalry Points by the end of the sixth turn wins the title of knight! With a modular board and variable setup, each game offers a new challenge. Get ready to show what you're capable of and earn your place in history!
