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.

4 Squash's Himalaya variants
This is a combination of advanced rules from the base game, optional rules from the expansion, excellent variant rules from BGG user Isamoor, and my own variant tweaks. It is a 2-page Microsoft Word document. In order to play with a few of these variant rules you'll also need to print off the Himalaya Village Cards, which can be found in a separate file: http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/72395/himalaya-village-car... (This is a corrected version of the previous file with the forgotten game phase included. It's still a 2-page Microsoft Word document.)

3 Himalaya Village Cards
If you want to play the "Allergic to Chaos!" variant rules from the Himalaya expansion, you can use these cards instead of the Village tokens. This is a 4-page PDF document. I recommend using cardstock and printing page 1 back-to-back with page 3, and page 2 back-to-back with page 4. I've sized the cards to fit into 45mm X 68mm mini card sleeves.

4 Player Aid - Variant Scoring
This is a simple Player Aid for Himalaya. I went ahead and included my own scoring method. I didn't like eliminating for Stupas first since it was too obvious in the later rounds who was going to get eliminated. Please contact me with any questions or comments.
