About the Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

You're the new Headmaster of Arcanum Collegium, and the term ahead is going to test you.

Arcanum Collegium is a deck-building management game about running a college through a difficult stretch. Recruit professors, send them to handle whatever challenges show up each round, and try to keep everyone's spirits — and the college's resources — from running out before the term ends.

Every professor has their own way of doing things, and how well that fits the problem in front of them matters. Build up your deck of action cards, merge duplicates into stronger versions, and spend what you can afford on relics, new recruits, and upgrades along the way.

25 rounds. One term. See if the college — and you — make it to the end.

Features

  • Deck-building with a merge-based upgrade system

  • A cast of professors, each with their own personality and way of working

  • Random events and crises, so no two terms play out quite the same

  • A short guided prologue, if you'd rather learn by playing than by reading
