Peer Review

Peer Review is a science simulation. The active players draw cards with subjects and hold a short lecture on their research of that subject. The other players are the peers and have to criticize the lecture on the grounds of desiderata cards. If a majority of other players rejects the research, it's the next player's turn; if the research is commendable, the lecturer receives new merit and desiderata cards. The goal of the game is to hold most merit cards after a predetermined time - prizes, scholarships, tenures, etc. The game contains German and English cards, but is aimed at players who master both. Additional use of Greek or at least Latin is recommended.
