What is Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa

In Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa, a dynamic, interactive, mid-weight Eurogame, 1-4 players manage the prestigious University of Sankoré in 14th-century Timbuktu, tasked by the emperor Mansa Musa with spreading knowledge throughout West Africa, even as the 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 compete against the "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.

Euro algo durete, ambientado en las universidades musulmanas en algún momento del pasado - sobre el medievo, aunque quien sabe. Las acciones se desarrollan en torno a cuatro materias (leyes, teología, matemáticas y otra que no me acuerdo) y están muy relacionadas unas con otras. Es un juego interesante. Explicación muy farragosa, y tardas un poquillo en coger la mecánica, pero después resulta entretenido. Mantener fuera del alcance de los no jugones.

Definitely a heavy game with a beautiful desing.
