Watch “How to play The House of Wisdom,” a how-to-play guide for The House of Wisdom from Donald Sheldon on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Donald Sheldon on YouTube:

Learn to play my new cardgame, The House of Wisdom. Collect research to make incredible discoveries that change the game for all players. From algebra to how vision works you'll experience over three dozen real-life, historical discoveries and inventions from the Islamic Golden Age, and meet a dozen of the famed scholars who kept science alive from the 9th through 13th centuries. Each card includes a brief historical note so curious folks can learn the details of how these things came to be and why they're so important. If you like what you see you can print-and-play your own copy here: https://tinyurl.com/TheHouseOfWisdom or buy one of the 500 copies we're bringing to Origins later this year (2022).
