## Description
Wayfarers of the South Tigris transports you to the height of the Abbasid Caliphate in 820 AD, launching from Baghdad to chart land, rivers, and the heavens. You play as an explorer, cartographer, and astronomer who must manage a caravan of workers, equipment, and dice while recording findings in the Great Wisdom Book. The board is modular, so each game has a different layout, and drafting is open: you see what others will pick before deciding. Area majority mechanics force you to vie for control of map regions, while influence over the three guilds of science, trade, and exploration grants extra points and end‑game bonuses. A progress track race determines the winner: the first to reach the end wins. Solo mode works too, with adapted rules for one player. The blend of set collection, tile placement, and track movement creates a rich strategic experience with multiple worker types that roll dice to decide actions. In short, Wayfarers of the South Tigris is a mapping and exploration game that mixes careful planning, territorial competition, and a touch of astronomy, all wrapped in a historical vibe. Perfect for fans of ancient themes and varied mechanics, but beware: the pace can be slow and the learning curve steep.
