Scholars of the Southern Tiger is set during the height of the Abbasid Caliphate, circa 830 AD. The caliph called on the keenest minds to acquire scientific manuscripts from around the world. Players will need to increase their influence in the House of Wisdom and hire skilled linguists to translate foreign scrolls into Arabic. In this golden age of wisdom and knowledge, be careful not to neglect one in the pursuit of the other.
The goal of the game is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at the end of the game. Points are earned by translating scrolls, increasing knowledge in various fields of science and mathematics, influencing the 3 guilds, and retiring translators after their years of loyal service. The end of the game is triggered once the 4 caliph cards have been revealed.
