📖 About This Game

At the Magic Academy, all final-year students must compete in the Five Crystals Tournament. They have to use the magical equipment they've acquired during their studies to win. The student who collects the most Crystals wins the tournament. Players acquire a random number of cards on their turn and must play a number of cards determined by a dice roll. Then, they may either study in one field or challenge another student for a Crystal. Some action cards add more interactions to the game. When a player has studied enough to gain access to the corresponding Crystal, they take it, regardless of who previously owned it. The game finishes when a player gets their fifth Crystal or when there are no more cards in the pile.
