Academia is really just The Chocolate Game (from the 1908s).
The rules: Kids sit in a large circle & roll two dice in turn. If you roll two sixes, you go to the middle, put on a hat, coat, gloves, scarf, and then you can eat a huge bar of chocolate with a knife & fork. But if another kid rolls a double six, it's their turn & you're out.
Kids only see the choc. Teachers know they're not getting it.
My research is the chocolate. Academic admin is the dice, the clothes & the knife and fork. Boo

@helenczerski I had completely forgotten that game. I loved it when I was like eight!
@VoxDei @helenczerski the mean trick was that once you had all the gear ion you found that the chocolate had been stored in the fridge and was rock hard.
