Due to numerous requests, the Crowd Games publishing house has opened pre-orders for a new edition of the board strategy game "Pax Pamir. The Great Game" (Pax Pamir: Second Edition), which ranks 53rd on BGG and is designed for 1–5 players.
Currently, it can be purchased for 6990 rubles, metal coins for 1790 rubles, and a set with the game and coins for 7990 rubles.
The game's action unfolds against the backdrop of a clash of interests between two world empires – the Russian and British – in 19th-century Central Asia. Local Afghan patriots join them, forming a third side of the conflict. Participants will have the opportunity to choose any patron and, unexpectedly for their rivals, switch to another when they deem it necessary.
Cards, when played, allow players to gain influence in regions, deploy troops and roads, increase the number of spies, and also provide passive properties until the end of the game. Coalition tokens can be used as troops or as roads. Player markers can be spies or rulers of lands. Components are multifunctional.
In Pax Pamir, users literally control the course of the game themselves, regulating its aggressiveness, duration, and drama. Each player acts as a mechanism for restraining others and keeps a finger on the pulse of events, taking action if a rival gets too far ahead.
"Pax Pamir. The Great Game" was developed by game designer Cole Wehrle – the author of the well-known hit "Root", the historical-political strategy "John Company", the political game with unusual legacy mechanics "Oath", and the tactical space opera "Arcs. The Limit". The preliminary delivery date for the board game to the warehouse is October 2026.
