Is architecture education becoming a commodity? This project investigates the blooming of portfolio preparation agencies, which target specifically at architecture students and provide customised tutoring service to assist with their university application. Based on research of some famous portfolio agencies in China founded in the past decade, a board game was designed in hoping for an informative presentation of its function, and to create a space for critical discussion about some concerning aspects of architecture education especially in the US, such as social privilege, access to information and resources, branding, marketing, originality and plagiarism, etc.
