PREVIEW: Maid Knight Saga: The Story of Faltisia

About 下町メイド物語: The Story of Faltisia, from BoardGameGeek:

This is the Kingdom of Faltisia, a land blessed with a stable economy and with natural, rich countries that are crowded with many people. You are a girl born in such a kingdom. Your only dream is to become a full-fledged maid. However, due to the importance of the maid occupation (it being essential to national security), only the most elite are allowed to graduate to professional status. Fortunately, you passed the entrance exams for the prestigious school "Royal Faltisia Academy". You have three years to polish yourself, so how will you spend your school life? 下町メイド物語: The Story of Faltisia is an ambitious multimedia project by LAUGH SKETCH Inc, consisting of part web-novel, and part board game. ("下町メイド物語" translates to "Country Maid Story".) The board game is played out over three years during which players study at the esteemed Royal Academy of Faltisia. Here they improve their strength, wisdom, beauty, and purity, and hopefully graduate as a Professional Maid. At the conclusion of the game, the player with the highest VP wins. Players must choose what they will do each year by drafting action cards, then must choose between attending class to improve their abilities, or skipping class to instead choose from a number of extra-curricular activities. One of the core elements of the game is to apply for a Provisional Maid License, which is issued to the Academy from the Royal Maid Association. Without such a licence, you cannot typically work as a professional maid. In addition, each character has a unique ability that can be activated after receiving this provisional license; it is recommended you play the first game with the intention of acquiring this license. It's also important to take advantage of the items available in the school store. Let's become an excellent maid in three years! -description from the publisher (translated)
