I posted a short, negative review of Himalaya over at BoardGameGeek. It’s here. I really dislike this game. The programmed movement is frustrating, the way scoring opportunities arrive is unpredictable, and the scoring/winner determination is too boring and baroque to be worth messing with.

I may be posting future negative reviews over at BGG–they don’t get enough of them there–and continuing to post positive or more broadly thought-provoking reviews here.

So, apologies to reader qualistarian, who I know had high hopes for the game; my rating is 1+.
