Himalaya*
As the chief of a high plateau tribe in the Himalayas, players lead their yak caravans from one village to another, navigating snowy peaks and risky paths to gather essential goods for their tribe's development. Players aim to increase their political, religious, and economic influence by collecting resources like salt, barley, tea, jade, and gold to make offers to monasteries, send delegations, or negotiate for livestock expansion. Unique scoring determines the winner based on religious, political, and economic influence, making it stand out from similar games.
