| DESCRIPTION
Each player is the chief of a Himalayan high plateau tribe trying to extend his
tribe's influence in the religious, political and economic spheres. The goal is
to become the most prosperous caravaneer in all of the Himalaya.
The players move through the Himalayas on earthen trails, icy tracks and stone
paths. As tribal chiefs they travel from village to village, and collect raw
materials or fulfill orders. With them they can secure game-critical influence
-- in political, economic and religious areas. Each player plans his own way
through the mountains and at the same time tries to foil the plans of the other
chieftains. Who will hold sway in the Himalayas remains up in the air until the
very end. Due to its easily understood rules, this complex game is equally
suitable for families and gamers.
