  3. 6 out of 10

    I love the theme of translating manuscripts and I enjoyed the color theory mechanism for the dice, though I never figured out how to get the secondary color dice and couldn't see any advantage to them anyway. I found the rulebook confusing and the gameplay tedious. Like others, I couldn't see much point to the influence mechanic except victory points if you were lucky to get the relevant scrolls.

Scholars of the South Tigris is set during the height of the Abbasid Caliphate, circa 830 AD. The Caliph has called upon the keenest minds to acquire scientific manuscripts from all over the known world. Players will need to increase their influence in the House of Wisdom, and hire skilled linguists to translate the foreign scrolls into Arabic. In this Golden Age of wisdom and knowledge, be mindful not to neglect one in pursuit of the other.

The aim of Scholars of the South Tigris is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at the game’s end. Points are gained by translating scrolls, increasing knowledge in various areas of science and mathematics, influencing the 3 guilds, and by retiring translators after their years of faithful service. The game end is triggered once all 4 caliph cards have been revealed.
