Two posts in a day, but this announcement is worth it!

Today on Twitter, Shem Phillips of Garphill Games announced that the latest edition to the South Tigris trilogy, Scholars of the South Tigris, will be hitting Kickstarter on March 7.

I just received Wayfarers of the South Tigris about a month ago, so this is amazing news.

Now I have to actually play that one! I just missed playing it at OrcaCon earlier this month.

The game is once again designed by Shem Phillips and S J MacDonald with art by the Mico.

Given the Garphill Games track record, a Kickstarter in March means that we’ll probably have it by the end of the year.

Here’s the blurb from Boardgame Geek about this one:

”Scholars of the South Tigris is set during the height of the Abbasid Caliphate, circa 830 AD. The Caliph has called upon the keenest minds to acquire scientific manuscripts from all over the known world. Players will need to increase their influence in the House of Wisdom, and hire skilled linguists to translate the foreign scrolls into Arabic. In this Golden Age of wisdom and knowledge, be mindful not to neglect one in pursuit of the other.”

We’ll see if it’s amazing as the other Garphill games that I have played.

I’m looking forward to this one!

What about you?
