Not as good as other Kairosoft games I've played. Research points & money add up too slowly, and without a fast speed option I got too bored to get through the first playthrough. The gameplay ends up something like, build/research/do a class... then stare at the characters doing their own thing, wait, wait, wait, and wait some more. Graphics are cute though, and the basic idea is interesting - just needs better timing mechanics.

I love this game. im on year 20 and still cant stop playing it. I love that its not just buy buy buy. its a strategic game if you really think about it. you have to manage your money well, know when and when not to level up teachers as their salary goes up. you also have to be careful of the facility upkeep so you dont go negative. For me i simply bought what i had to for the firt year or two so i have enough profit to continue buying extra facilities. All in all, this is my favorite game

Used to enjoy Kairosoft games, but this one is annoying and unenjoyable. Very rough and punishing on experimenting for combos, as there is no "Move" tool for the facilities you place; you have to destroy and rebuild the facility, resulting in costs AND downtime due to rebuild time. Also takes a lot of time to get things rolling and build momentum on the money and token side, as it's dependent on the number of students and teachers.
