Pax Pamir: Second Edition

Els jugadors fan el paper de líders afganesos del segle XIX que naveguen entre potències estrangeres rivals després del col·lapse de l'Imperi Durrani. El joc planteja la influència imperial des de la perspectiva afganesa, mentre els jugadors recluten aliats, col·loquen unitats militars en un mapa compartit i construeixen un tableau personal anomenat cort. Els torns consisteixen sobretot a comprar cartes d'un mercat central i jugar-les en una fila per obtenir habilitats, desplegar forces i activar accions que afecten els altres jugadors i el tauler. Les Domination Checks periòdiques avaluen si són les coalicions o el poder local fragmentat qui determina la puntuació; els punts s'atorguen ja sigui per la influència de coalició o per les bases de poder individuals. El joc alterna entre comprovacions i reinicis fins que un jugador guanya aconseguint un avantatge decisiu en punts o després de l'última comprovació.

    Will probably rate it higher after more plays. Seems very promising so far. Simple and streamlined mechanics but still so complex because of the hostage/ruling-tax/bribery mechanic on top of the often changing allegiances. Great game. EDIT* Yeah, thought so, this is a 10. Also, thanks to this game, I can sell about 40-50% of my collection. Paladin 63.5x88mm double matte (old style).

    (Update after a few more games with experienced people) This game has two phases, in its life on your shelves. The first one is the one where you internalise not only rules, but dynamics and interactions. At that point you will have a lot of fun already, but some stuff will appear a bit clunky and out of place (double scoring, calculations on dominance scoring, five players, etc). All this disappears the moment you stop calculating and playing the market/board only and instead mainly playing your opponents, the alliances and guessing their objectives. Then the game opens itself and becomes excellent at any player count. Needs players willing to give and receive punches but more importantly, to negotiate and talk

Dubtes de regles

Respostes a partir del reglament per l'assistent de regles de Ludoya.

When does a Dominance Check happen and how is it scored?

Dominance Checks are resolved when a Dominance Check event is purchased or when one is revealed during cleanup, and final-check points are doubled (page 9, 15). If a single coalition has the most blocks and at least four more than each other coalition the check is successful and loyal players score by influence (5/3/1); otherwise players score for cylinders in play (3/1) with ties split as described (page 15).

Do I have to pay a bribe if I play a card from a region someone else rules?

Yes — if another player rules the card’s region you must pay them a bribe equal to the number of that ruler’s tribes in the region (the ruler may waive any portion); if you don’t pay (or it’s not waived) the play is canceled as if it never happened (page 11).

How does the favored suit affect actions and purchase costs?

The favored suit determines which court cards grant bonus actions that do not count against your two-action limit, and the favored-suit marker can be moved by cards you play (pages 6, 12, 11). If the military suit is favored, purchase costs are doubled — you place two rupees on each leftward market card when buying (page 10).

How do I pay for a card in the market and what happens to rupees I place there?

A card’s cost depends on its column (leftmost free, then 1, 2, etc.); you pay by placing one rupee on each card to the left in the same row (if a slot is vacant you pay to the opposite row's same column), and any time you place a rupee on a market card you may not purchase that particular card that turn (page 10). Action costs that pay the market place rupees on the rightmost market cards of both rows and follow the same purchase-blocking rule (page 12).

What does it take to 'rule' a region and when do I take the ruler token?

To take a region’s ruler token you must have at least one tribe in the region and a plurality of ruling pieces (more than any other player individually); if there is a tie no one rules the region, and ruler tokens are taken or returned immediately when ruling status changes (page 7).

How does the Betray action work and what is a prize?

Betray discards a card where you have a spy (cost 2) and you may then accept the discarded card as a prize by tucking it behind your loyalty dial; if the prize’s coalition differs from your current loyalty you must remove your gifts, prizes, and patriots matching your old loyalty and then change loyalty (page 14, page 7).
