How It Plays

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Simultaneous Action Selection

Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.

Team-Based Game

Players split into teams and work together to outplay the other side — teamwork makes the dream work!

About This Game

Be the first player to attend the University of Reversity and have no Exam cards. As you move around the board, players try to figure out what word you read off the cards that is spelled backwards.
