Can you finish the preparation for the exam ritual and get the scholarship at the University of Magic?

 You only have 5 days to prepare for the big exam ritual to gain a scholarship at the University of Magic. Manage your mundane life and go on fantastic magical adventures to gather the essentials for your ritual. Built together an elaborate story of a young Applicant who is, despite their mundane life, aware of the world of magic but is also terribly inexperienced.

Rely on the magic of the cards

Draw cards to help you guide through the creation of the University, the Applicant and the Ritual itself. Then you play through the last five days of preparation with its dull mundane life and the fantastic magical adventures. The cards will tell you where you have to go and who you will find there. As misfortune is with the unprepared, the same cards will also determine the complications of your journey. With 13 x 13 possible places, 13 NPC types in one of four moods and also 13 different complications, no adventure will be the same. And with that many 13, what could go wrong, right?
