Wayfarers of the South Tigris

This captivating board game takes you back to the height of the Abbasid Caliphate, around 820 AD. Here, you take on the role of a fearless explorer, cartographer, or astronomer, and your journey begins in Baghdad. Your task is to map uncharted lands, waterways, and even the starry sky. Participants must skillfully lead their caravan of workers and equipment while regularly documenting their findings at the House of Wisdom. Will you impress the Caliph, or will you be lost to the trials of the wilderness?

The game's goal is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) when the game ends. Points are mainly earned by mapping land, water, and sky. Players can also earn points by upgrading their caravans, drawing inspiration from nobles, and influencing the three guilds of science, trade, and exploration.
