In Sankoré, a dynamic and interactive Eurogame, 1 to 4 players run the prestigious University of Sankoré in 14th century Timbuktu, charged by Emperor Mansa Musa with spreading knowledge throughout West Africa, even as the great university rises around them.

By enrolling and graduating your students, teaching classes, completing your curriculum, and filling the Great Library with books, you will advance knowledge in four major disciplines: theology, law, mathematics, and astronomy. Once the construction of the university is completed, the value that the empire places on each discipline will significantly influence the evaluation of the knowledge you have transmitted.

In a dedicated single-player mode, you'll compete against a distinguished scholar, a passionate and ambitious academic controlled by an elegant automated system. He may not be as agile as you, but he is focused and motivated and will strive to produce the best students possible.

Will you be able to navigate the corridors of academic competition and bring notoriety to the prestigious Mansa Musa University?
