Scholars of the South Tigris: Body of Books

You may take 1 Page Card or choose 2 XP instead. To take a card from a Book, pay the XP shown on it; if it’s the only card on that Book, its cost is reduced by 1 XP (p. 5).

Tuck Page Cards only at the end of your turn, and use your Row Reference Tile to determine any cost; the original game’s Silver/White Die costs no longer apply. Completing a row makes you slide the tile down and resolve your highest Row Bonus Tile (p. 8).

Black takes priority, so the action is Black even when paired with a secondary die. Black Dice also count as coloured dice when totaling your Dice Sum (p. 4).

You don’t translate a Scroll from the House of Wisdom: at action value 6+, place 1 Gold on a Translator to gain 1 XP and a Page Card; at 10+, place 2 Gold on two different Translators to gain 3 XP and a Page Card. You may take 2 XP instead of the Page Card, and you can underspend your action’s pips (p. 7).

No—remaining XP is worth nothing unless an End Game Page Card specifically changes that, such as one that scores remaining XP as Gold. Resolve End Game Page Cards before adding up Dice Sums and moving to final scoring (pp. 10, 16).
