Merchants of Empire

Merchants of Empire (French title: Marchands d'Empire, Commercial name: Himalaya)

Designer: Régis Bonnessée
Publishers: Hexagames, Tilsit
Status: Commercial
BGG entry: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/3800

From the BGG entry:

'Each player is a rich merchant trying to extend his influence in the religious, political and economic spheres; the stakes are nothing less than the Emperor's favour. The context is a fantasy kingdom.

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

This game is no longer available on the Hexagames website. The commercial version is now available from Tilsit and is now called Himalaya.
