About the game
Pack your bags and catch your breath, because the adventure is just beginning! In Cartaventura: Lhasa, you and your friends embark on an epic journey inspired by the life of the famous explorer Alexandra David-Neel. The goal is to cross breathtaking landscapes, traveling from India to Tibet, traversing the dangerous Himalayan mountains to find the mystical city of Lhasa. The best part is that you won't be traveling alone: it's a fully cooperative game where everyone makes decisions together. You'll build the map as you explore, flipping cards and deciding the expedition's next move. Will you find the right path, or will you get lost in the mists or face unexpected dangers? The game is incredibly intuitive and teaches you the rules as you play, making it perfect for anyone wanting an adventure experience without reading a hundred-page manual. Plus, the game offers five different endings, ensuring each expedition is a unique story. If you enjoy fast-paced card games with a storytelling vibe that can be played solo or with friends, this is your next favorite. Just a heads-up: since the game relies on understanding the text on the cards, make sure your version is translated so you don't miss any crucial story details!
