Gwageo-gil
A new run opens every day. Keep your health, resolve, and travel money above zero through 24 solar terms and pass the gwageo.
Setting out the scholar.
How to play
An event appears at each solar term. The choice you make spends one of your three resources or raises a stat.
Run out of any resource and you retire from the road. Cross all 24 terms and the learning you built decides whether you pass or fail.
Even without passing, your next scholar carries your family's legacy and starts a little further ahead.
The events and characters in this game are fiction, written for fun. The real Joseon-dynasty exam system behind it is laid out separately, with sources.
