About the game
Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first climbed Mount Everest in 1953, many mountaineers have attempted to repeat their exploit, but with great difficulty. In this game, YOU are responsible for a team of mountaineers whose objective is to reach the summit of Everest. You will establish one of the supply camps essential to your climbs. You will manage and move human and material resources while facing many dangers in the mountain. Beware, a strange creature wanders in these sacred regions. The yeti is no longer a legend... Embark on this great adventure where the courage of your team-mates will make all the difference. On your mark, get set, ...go!

Questions and answers
Sherpa supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Sherpa is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Sherpa for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Sherpa has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
