Our focus has, and always will be, to design quality games that you can enjoy with your family and friends for years to come. So why back now? Here’s a few reasons why you might choose to back this campaign, rather than waiting for retail:

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?

Key Features

• Clever dice mechanisms whereby players can customize their pool of dice throughout the game
• An innovative resource management system where players upskill their craftspeople as they build and publish their various devices
• The huge variability, strategic depth, and multiple paths to victory make the game massively replayable
• Packed with plenty of positive player interactions thanks to the shared infrastructure, and many off-turn benefits
• Intuitive and easy to use solo mode

Aim of the Game

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.

No Stretch Goals?
