About A World above the Cloud, from BoardGameGeek:

A World above the Cloud is an exploration and conservation board game inspired by Ladakh, a beautifully tended high-altitude mountain desert in the North Western Indian Himalayas. You can play this game in three ways: Cooperatively or Competitively or Solo. In the cooperative game, you and your fellow players are the Guardians of Ladakh, on a quest to revive the Stories of six regions. Each turn, the Guardians Hike across the land to Gather various Elements and Seeds. They must Protect sets of three crucial Elements (a Wilderness, an Essential and a Culture) from each region in order to revive the lost Stories. However, as the players Gather the Elements, waves of Hazards are triggered, destroying the precious Elements and endangering the Bees. The Guardians must work together, Protect the Elements, manifest Spirits, resist the Hazards and Plant the Seeds wisely to keep the Bees safe until all six Stories are revived! In competitive mode, players take on the role of Storytellers, racing to tell the most of the six Stories. Caution and strategy are crucial to dodge Hazards, outpace opponents and become "The Greatest Storyteller of Ladakh". -description from the designer
