Questions about this game
Does finishing the course mean I have graduated independently?
Course completion unlocks the assessment. Independent graduation requires completing its 12 questions without HELP or retries; assisted completion remains practice and can be attempted again independently.
Does Academy teach all five multiplayer rulesets?
Its introductory chapters teach the tiles and basic actions, while advanced rules and exercises focus on Japanese Riichi. The other four Play rulesets do not have dedicated Academy question banks.
