The introductory course to Inkulinati, the academy, is the ideal place to learn about the game and its strategy. The academy is a fantastic tutorial that explains to plains what they need to do, then gives them the freedom to implement the new skills they've learned, as well as the new ones the guide tells them to use.
Then players run into the last level and they barely get so much as a "good luck." Even experts who are quick learners in Inkulinati will find themselves dying over and over against the two Sir Snails that can kill the Tiny Inkulinati in a single gulp.
Beating The Academy
- Use Move Left on the right snail.
- Use Strike to hit both snails.
- Use Swat on the right snail.
- Draw a Donkey Bard in the rightmost field.
- Use Move Right on Godfrey.
- Draw a Sword-Wielding Dog in the rightmost field.
- Use Move Right on the right snail.
- Use Move Left on the Sword-Wielding Dog.
- Have the Sword-Wielding Dog move next to the snail.
- Use the Sword ability against the snail.
Slide the snail on the right toward the left. This will put both snails next to one another.
Now use Strike to hit both snails. It doesn't matter if this hit also hits Godfrey.
Since any hit from the snails is instant death, his life pool is irrelevant to the fight.
Use Swat on the snail on the right, bringing its life total down to 5. It's a lot of damage for one round which is why Strike and Swat are considered some of the best hand actions in the game.
Draw a Donkey Bard in the rightmost field. The beast itself won't get a chance to use any moves (too bad since it's one of the best beasts available), but because the Donkey Bard can put the enemy team to sleep, the Sir Snails make some bad movement choices to avoid getting hit.
Use Move Right on Godfrey, moving him to the right, past the Donkey bard, and into safety. This will end the turn. One Sir Snail will eat the wheelbarrow and the other will push that snail toward the right side.
Now draw a Sword-Wielding dog in the rightmost field. This fills up the right side of the battleground.
Use Move Right on the right snail, sending it off a cliff and to its doom.
Use Move Left on the Sword-Wielding Dog, moving it back toward the action and away from the cliff. This will end the turn and the Sir Snail on the left will eat the Donkey Bard. Then the chapter will end.
With the first turn of the round, use the Sword-Wielding Dog and move him to the left, next to the snail.
Finally, use the Sword attack, defeating the last Sir Snail and beating the academy. Now it's time to farm up prestige in the campaign.
