How It Plays
Action Drafting
Players take turns picking from a shared pool of available actions — grab the one you need before someone else does!
Contracts
You fulfill specific orders or contracts for rewards — choosing which ones to pursue is a big decision.
Dice Rolling
You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!
End Game Bonuses
Extra points are awarded at the end for meeting certain goals — keep an eye on those bonus objectives!
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
About This Game
You and your fellow Headmasters are trying to build out your academies, recruit the best students, hire talented guildmasters, and influence important council ministers. Only select graduates can be tasked to fulfill quests ordered by the King, while the so-so graduates are sent to the capital city to make their own way. GAOV uses action selection, dice drafting and dice manipulation (Students), tile drafting, resource management and engine building (Academies), contract fulfillment (Quests), and a unique system where players choose which game aspects they want to score (Council Ministers) to bring a new aspect of the Valeria Universe to life. —description from the publisher
