Dice management, with workers that "colour" the dice to better control your actions.

How to play

2. You play with dice: you use your workers to colour the dice and better control your actions.
3. With your actions you collect scrolls from all over the world and have interpreters translate them into Arabic, increase your knowledge in the fields of research and gain influence with the three guilds. After years of service, interpreters must be retired.
4. Whoever becomes the most important scholar of the Caliphate, with the most victory points, wins.
