Inventors of the South Tigris is set during the height of the Abbasid Caliphate, circa 850 AD. Over the past decades, Baghdad has become home to thousands of mathematicians, astronomers, chemists, and physicians. As inspired innovators, players are eager to develop clever contraptions to impress their peers. Will your ingenious devices adorn the House of Wisdom, or are they destined for dust and decay? The aim of Inventors of the South Tigris is to be the player with the most Victory Points (VP) at the games end. Points are primarily gained by Inventing, Building, Testing, and Publishing Devices. Players can also score points by training their Craftspeople, developing their Workshops, Researching, and Influencing the 3 scientific Guilds.

Joseph L. ★★★★★

The way the game forces you to balance your scholars and resources really simulates the intellectual hustle of that era. My first playthrough took over two hours, and I was still thinking about my next move the next morning.

Ellie ★★★★★

I was immediately drawn in by the historical theme set in 850 AD Baghdad, and the way you manage your scribes and inventors feels incredibly thematic. The resource management and worker placement mechanics are deep without being overwhelming, making each decision feel meaningful.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The way the inventor cards let you chain actions together feels incredibly satisfying once you get the rhythm down. I’ve played three times already and each game reveals a new strategic layer.
