AIvory Tower: Artificial Intelligence and the University of the Future

AI is taking over the Ivory Tower — will you embrace it, regulate it, or resist it? In AIvory Tower, a fast-playing four-player card based game, players take on the roles of faculty, administrators, students, and AI researchers —navigating the rise of artificial intelligence in higher education. Every decision shapes the future: Will AI streamline grading or erode academic integrity? Will automation enhance research or replace human scholars? Debate policies, negotiate alliances, and cast decisive votes in dilemmas that will define the university’s fate. Balance funding, ethics, and AI influence as you work toward your personal victory — whether it’s full AI integration, ethical regulation, or the preservation of traditional education. —description from the designer
