Description

In Class Craft (クラスクラフト), players take on the role of teachers, building their classrooms to ensure their respective classes score highest in the midterms and finals.

Each classroom consists of two rows, each with 4 seats, and the players play 1 student from their hand onto an empty seat on each of their turns. Most students are only good at certain subjects, and some have effects that can be activated when played in specific rows, such as switching the positions of other students or changing the subject being tested.

There are six teachers with different subjects that rotate in a specific order each game; memorizing the order and manipulating the flow of subjects is vital to scoring well at both the midterms and finals.
