About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey board game enthusiasts! If you're a fan of "Scholars of the South Tigris" and always looking for ways to spice up your games, check out this little addition! These are the "Translator Promo Cards," a small pack featuring 8 promotional cards that were first offered during the 2023 Kickstarter campaign. Think of them as a direct upgrade for your base game. Each of these cards introduces a new "Translator" for one of the 8 card stacks you're already familiar with in the game. Essentially, they bring more variety and new strategic possibilities for players who have already mastered the rules and want to explore new avenues of learning and influence on the board. It's not a massive expansion that changes everything, but it's that extra flavor that makes all the difference for those who enjoy optimizing every move and discovering new synergies. If you're a fan of "The South Tigris Trilogy" and enjoy the deck-building, hand management, and dice worker placement mechanics, these cards are a great find to add an extra boost to your sessions. They fit perfectly within the original game's design, adding a touch of novelty without overly complicating the learning curve. For those seeking more replayability and a cool collector's item, they're definitely worth checking out!
