With this card you can get a small benefit out of those cards that you dont want to or cant use. To prevent abuse i limited the usage to once per turn. So to use it often you have to restrict your possibilities earlier on.

Thematically you give away knowledge and get something from the parents of your pupils (teacher wasnt a well paid job back then...).		 zlorfik

Great new, innovative idea. I like it. I would love to get something useful out of those garbage cards in my hand.

I'm not a fan of the name though. When i read Village School i think it must be an additional action space. Maybe use a non tangible word name like "Instruction" or "Idea".		 chris

Great card zlorfik. One of the rare cards that's very good in any format, but stronger without draft. I could see wonderful (and relatively balanced) combos with this and the Queen, or the Hermit.

I understand where chris is coming from on the name: when I saw it, my mind immediately jumped to Private School from G deck. Nevertheless, I think it's fine, and well-themed.		 tacticus

Is this "once per turn" or "once per round" ?

Also, could this be made into an occupation and published with the G Deck (Oct 2010). Would it be balanced? Of course if it was an occupation it could be played much earlier than intended. But it could be changed into an occ and the text could say "...discard 2 cards from your hand to pay 1 less building resource."

The wording "once per turn" is intentional.

Theres nothing wrong with using it twice in a round for sp+minor and ren+major in my eyes. And it saves you the trouble of remembering if you used it with your 1st peep or not if you wanna use it with your 4th peep.

It would be wrong to be able to build 2 rooms with axe for 4 wood and 4 cards cause that would be too strong. So it needs a limit.		 zlorfik

I love this card. I played it yesterday. It feels so good to put the cards you don't want to good use.

I forget what round i played this card, but i used the discount 3 times. At that rate it felt very balanced and nice.		 chris

I would love the design of this card if it had no occupation requirement.

It cannot combo with the Hermit but it should. Lose the VP and occ requirements. This should absolutely be available from round one.

Its a great concept. Don't over-dress it.		 trey

I agree with getting rid of the occupation requirements. Keep the VP though if it has a stone cost. btizo
