Very solid heavier Euro. Looks incredible on the table with a unique take on area control mixed with poly-symbiosis within 4 different regions. Some nice features and pathing and definitely a tasty brain burner for those who like their Euros a bit more opened ion terms of pathing.

Go for it. It is genuine Sankoré not a replica. 10/10 to seller for sharing all the updates starting with international tracking to local updates (it was seller fulfilled). Also 11/10 to Osprey Games for replacing a part (law prestige token) that was missing from the copy that i received.

Jogo veio completo, sem problemas com o envio. O jogo é bem divertido, um pouco complicado pra entender as regras sozinho devido as dinâmicas do jogo. Gostei muito de como a pontuação final muda conforme os livros na biblioteca, ou seja, requer que os jogadores manipulem a biblioteca para que seus prestígios valham o máximo possível no fim do jogo, sendo competitivo até o último momento. Excelente!

This is a modern 'euro design': You manage the University of Sankoré in 14th-century Timbuktu to spread knowledge throughout West Africa. You enroll and graduate pupils, teach classes, add to your curriculum and fill the great library with books, in order to advance four main fields of scholarship: Theology, law, mathematics, and astronomy. Completing the university dramatically affects your score for acheivement in each domain. There're rules for solo play where you compete against the "Distinguished Scholar", an elegant automated system. Mechanisms: Action points Area majority / Influence Contracts Point-to-Point movement Resource queue Tech tracks Placement of different worker types BGG Stats: Complexity 4.12/5 (Heavy) Game score 8/10 (Excellent) 1-4 players, best at 3. Highly solo suitable 3 designers share the credit: Mandela Fernandez-Grandon: Glasgow, Ayar Fabio Lopiano: Autobahn , Baghdad, Ayar, Calimala, Ragusa, Shakelton Base, Zapotec David Digby: Annunaki, Autobhan, Chocolate Factory, Distilled, Eternal Palace, Venice, Fractured Sky, Luthier, Pillars of Heracles, Racoon Tycoon, Tinners Trail, Undaunted and Solar Sphere. I know and enjoy many of those. Some (like Sankore) are widely accepted as classics already. He also works to develop other games. Watch some of the online teaching videos first and you should really love this - New and younger players will probably need a veteran for a helping hand though. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
