About the Game

Academy is a family-friendly worker placement game with four rounds, each representing a year at West Point. During the game, players place their “Cadets” around the West Point campus to conduct training and face off in competitions. The goal is to become the Valedictorian by scoring the most points in the three pillars of the Academy (Academic, Military, Physical).

Just like at the real West Point, players must carefully manage their Competitions (e.g., IOCT or Term End Exams) with their Training (e.g., studying or doing duties). Drawing Training cards doesn’t score points, but players need Training cards to win Competitions. Remember that the most successful cadets play their cards well to graduate at the top of their class!
