The board game Scholars of the South Tigris by Garphill Games is a strategic game set around 830 AD, during the height of the Abbasid Caliphate. Players recruit linguists to translate scientific manuscripts into Arabic and increase their influence at the House of Wisdom. The goal is to earn the most victory points through translations, knowledge in scientific and mathematical fields, influence in the three guilds, and translators retiring after years of service.
The game ends when all four Caliph cards have been revealed.
