A dynamic, interactive, mid-weight eurogame for one to four
players, following the rise in fortunes of the prestigious
University of Sankor? in 14th?century Timbuktu.
Tasked by the emperor, Mansa Musa, with spreading knowledge
throughout West Africa, players must each manage a prestigious school
within the Sankor? Madrasa as this great university is raised around
them.
By enrolling and graduating your pupils, teaching classes, adding to
your curriculum, and filling the great library with books, you will advance
knowledge in four main disciplines: theology, law, mathematics, and
astronomy. Once construction of the university is complete, the value
that the empire places on each discipline will dramatically affect how you
score the knowledge you have passed on.
In a dedicated solo mode, you will be competing against a distinguished
scholar, a passionate, and ambitious academic controlled by an elegant
automated system. They may not be as nimble as you, but they are
focused and driven and will strive to produce the best possible
students.
Can you navigate the corridors of academic competition and bring
renown to Mansa Musa's prized university?
