Pax Pamir Second Edition – Lead the Great Game!

In Pax Pamir, you assume the role of nineteenth-century Afghan leaders forging a new state after the collapse of the Durrani Empire. While Western history calls this "The Great Game," focusing on European rivalries, this game views those empires through your eyes—as tools to be manipulated for your own rise to power.
Build your "court" by purchasing cards from a central market. Each card adds units to the map and grants you powerful actions to influence the board and disrupt your rivals. To survive, you must align with powerful coalitions. But loyalty is a resource, not a rule. You must decide when to stay loyal and when to betray your allies for a better opportunity.
Victory points are awarded during "Dominance Checks." If one coalition rules the land, its followers gain points based on influence. If the land remains fragmented, points go to those who built the strongest personal power base.
Every move matters. Whether directly clashing on the map or indirectly sabotaging an opponent's court, Pax Pamir is a game of constant, thrilling interference.

Empires are fleeting, but your ambition is eternal. Will you unite the tribes or rule the fragments?
