Wayfarers of the South Tigris is set during the height of the Abbasid Caliphate, circa 820 AD. As brave explorers, cartographers and astronomers, players set off from Baghdad to map the surrounding land, waterways, and heavens above.

How to Play Wayfarers of the South Tigris

 

The aim of Wayfarers is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at the game's end. Players must carefully manage their caravan of workers and equipment, while reporting back regularly to journal their findings at the House of Wisdom. Will you succeed in impressing the Caliph, or lose your way and succumb to the wilderness?

Points are primarily gained by:

  • mapping the land, water, and sky
  • upgrading their caravans
  • gaining inspiration from nobles
  • influencing the three guilds of science, trade and exploration

As they make discoveries, players will want to quickly journal their progress. The game ends once one player’s marker has reached the far right column of the journal track.
