Description
The designers have developed rules to simulate college life including taking tests and working on campus.[4]
The book also contains rules for building up relationships with other students, which affects the narrative, but also has mechanical impacts on the game. There are personality profiles for 18 NPCs spread across the five colleges, and players can interact with them during relationship encounters such as an improv festival, house party, or singing competition. The decisions players make during these encounters could earn them new allies, or rivals who will try to interfere with their plans.

The book features an adventure that can be played from levels 1-10 or broken up into four standalone games, each representing a year spent at the college. Each of those can be completed in two or three sessions.
