Pax Pamir Board Game (2nd Edition)

This board game is complex but has fantastic replayability, potential depth for each turn, but is relatively simple in terms of the individual choices you make (buy, place, action). Some awesome backstabbing, team play, and convincing happens every game, where the tides constantly shift and it always feels like everyone has a chance of winning, since victory points are doubled on the last dominance check.

This game is freaking DEEP gameplay, and the quality of the components is crazy! I mean it has a cloth playing field!🤯 Buyer beware.. this game is extremely intricate and complex… this is not a light, board game. But damn, is it sexy!! 🤤

Great game with amazing quality

This game is designed really well, comes with high quality materials, and is enjoyable to play. Wish I was able to get it to the table more consistently.

Great game. I’d recommend

This was a hit Christmas Day and started to be played that evening by grandson and siblings.

I have been playing hobby board games for 5 years now and have amassed a collection of nearly 100 of my favorites. This game is currently my favorite game I've played! The decision space is tight and engaging, the play time is very reasonable for this weight of game, and with changing loyalties players will go in and out of working against and with one another. The game opens up to much more negotiation at higher player counts and is much more strategic and chess-like with 2 players. I would say my favorite player count is probably 3 or 4 players but it plays well at all player counts - especially solo if that's your thing! Outside of the game design & mechanics themselves, Pax Pamir 2e is very, very well produced! Cloth map, detailed resin pieces, stained wood ruler tokens, and wood player markers. Art, I believe, was all sourced from actual pieces and there is not a single area in this game that doesn't have art - inside the box lid, under the insert, on the back of the player dials, gorgeous card backs, back of player mats, etc. In summary... This game is a must-play for any avid board gamer, and once you've played a couple times to fully grok the game I'm fairly confident you'll want to pick up a copy. I foresee Pax Pamir 2e remaining one of my favorite games for a very long time!

There's a rule in Pax Pamir that encapsulates its genius. "Players are free to discuss the game during play and explicitly coordinate their actions. However, any agreed-upon deal should be considered non-binding." In other words, double-crossing is allowed! Pax Pamir puts you in the mind of an Afghan tribal leader, with only situational allegiance to your own government, or to the imperialist British or Russians. It is a brilliant abstraction of governance, alliance, espionage, war, assassination, taxation and bribery. Despite its breadth and depth, Pax Pamir plays relatively quickly. This won't keep you sitting for an hour-plus. I have only played two-player and solo, and I can see how this game would shine with more players. Still, it is an excellent game at smaller player counts. My teenage daughter is my only playing partner, and she hates games with a historical theme, but we both love Pax Pamir.

Apesar de ter vindo sem embalagem nenhuma além de dentro duma caixa, ao menos não chegou danificado. Entrega foi rápida para um produto importado

EXTREMELY irritated that this didn't I clue the metal coins. Especially for the price of the game. The video SHOWS the metal coins. That said, the other pieces of the game are stellar. The art is very reflective of and fits the era. I've used 64x88 KMC Top Load Perfect sleeves for the cards, and they're perfect. I've only done a walkthrough so far but already foresee this being a top favorite game for sure. Can't wait to get it to the table!
