Description

[Edit] [History]

This game was freely available for download once; however, as a commercial version has been published, the author has removed the material from the web. The commercial version was produced by Tilsit in 2004 and published with the name Himalaya. It was the 4th game in the Tilsit Collection series.

The game seems inspired by various classics: Elfenland for the movement rules, Tigris & Euphrates for the multiple influence scores and the victory conditions, El Grande/San Marco for the regional influences, RoboRally for the simultaneous turn "programming", etc.
