Afterwork Session : Inventors of the South Tigris (+ expansion)

Let's play one of the latest Garphill game, Inventors of the South Tigris, along with its expansion Era of Experts.

"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 game’s 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."

BEWARE, this game is one of the heaviest Garphill games (if not the heaviest). Be prepared for complex rules and a long playing time. Reading rules beforehand/watching a video is recommended. I'm also limiting the event to 3 players, to prevent the event from lasting too long.

The game will be called at 22:30, regardless of the state of the game then.
