In Shangri-La, the mysterious and isolated utopia nestled high in the mountains, a strange struggle for dominance has begun.

As soon as peaceful and neighborly, the Masters of the competing mountain-folk train their students and send them out across bridges to control neighboring villages.

To take control of a village, the students ought to come together in uncomfortable alliances, regardless of their tribal origin. Ultimately students grow to be Masters themselves, train new students and expand to other villages.

There is 1 factor each student must maintain in mind as they travel from village to village — the mystical powers of Shangri-La mysteriously cause the bridges to collapse, separating villages forever.

1 essential question will decide the winner: who will control the most Masters of Shangri-La?

The ultimate object of the game is to have the most leaders on the board at the end of the game.

The Bridges of Shangri-La

Leo Colovini is one of my favourite game designers. There is something about his game design style that is quirky and interesting. To me at least.

The Bridges of Shangri-La is one such game. It is a subtle game and it can be confusing but it is fun. What I like about this game is that it is pretty intense for a short playing time and that can be a good thing.

Other Leo Colovini games that I like and enjoy are: Clans and Masons. You can read the Clans review here.
