About the game
Players take on the role of classic student archtypes—emotional vortex to man candy, preppy to 1337 haXx0r—trying to hookup with other students and clubs, while making sure to breakup your rivals. At the end of four school years (because High School is like totally so superficial ya know) players burn off all their bonds they’ve created, turning them into signatures in their yearbook. The player with the most signatures at the end of game is the winner! The Varsity Edition of High School Drama enhances and streamlines game play, while clarifying various rules based on player feedback from the original edition of the game.
