That is the BEST teaching video of Pax Pamir, thanks so much for this! I'm waiting anxiously for the other videos
Thanks drmn! Working on them now!
WOW! These are the best rules explanations i have ever seen. I'm a non native speaker but i understand every word. You explain so clearly and slow. It is a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep up the good work.
This is the Pax Pamir teaching video to end all Pax Pamir teaching videos. Excellent work! No need to even read the manual at all after seeing this.
Thanks so much Martin!
Hey, grats on being plugged in the latest Kickstarter update for being "a really great, comprehensive teaching video"!! I'm so excited for ya :D
@Ching Wei Sooi thanks for letting me know! That's really exciting and I may not have known this was there if you hadn't mentioned it. Thanks again!
An absolutely fantastic video on how to play Pax Pamir. Thank you! it was a pleasure to watch!!!
You sir hands down have the best teach videos of Pax Porfiriana, Mage Knight and now Pax Pamir 2E. I know because I've watched many many others and struggled. Keep 'em coming!
Hi Yoon K Lee, Thank you so much for the kind words. I have more in store ;)
Just got this game and despite the length of the video, it was informative, entertaining, and detailed, without making me give up learning the game nor look for a quicker how to play video. Fantastic job here.
This is easily the most comprehensive learning guide I've seen for this game. Subscribed!
Hi Mark, WOW! Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad you liked it!
easily one of the best how to play videos i’ve ever seen. i recently ordered this game and man I’m so excited to dig into it!!
Wow! thanks for the kind words. I hope you really enjoy this one.
This is an incredibly thorough explanation. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Such a good tutorial video! Nice explaining, fun and helpful visuals/editing etc. - Thanks so much, it helped a lot to learn the game!
BEST PAX PAMIR TUTORIAL EVER
Thanks for this excellent tutorial video! Very clear and easy to follow. This definitely helped to pique my interest in this game.
Fantastic video. Super clear and by far the best rules/explanation video I've seen. Thanks for posting it! :)
You bet! Thanks Tiago!
Congratulations for the best "learn to play" video on Pax Pamir. This video eases the access to this wonderful game and is clearly a high quality production for the estructure and concise explanation.
Wow! thanks Javier! Super kind words!
I agree this is the ultimate teaching video of this game! Thanks for explaining it so well!
I watched this video twice, and rewound certain parts, as well as read the rulebook. Such a fantastic rules overview! Thanks so much for making this. I know Pax Pamir 2e inside and out now.
That's great to hear and exactly what I keeps me going! Thanks for sharing!
The best "how to play" ever! Thanks!
This was the best Pax Pamir video I've found and was a huge help for the first game I played.
Awesome! I'm glad it helped!
Nice, quality content. Thanks Pete!
The board game "How to explain" channels are interesting, because subscribing means that I would get taught random games that I'm not necessarily interested in.
But uuh, when I am interested in a particular game, it is good to see that you've made a video for it. Because your videos are good.
I wish you had an affiliate link for when I buy the board game, so you would get some money at no extra cost to me. Not sure if this particular game has that option, but from my understanding Amazon does offer that.
This was a long but thorough explanation. I completed it in 2 days 😊. Taught everything perfectly, thanks for the video! My 2nd Edition just arrived today, can't wait to play. Damn this pandemic!
That's great Taha! Hope you enjoy playing through this one. I with you. Give me. back game night at the FLGS and real in-person conventions! I can't wait!!!
Peter, this is the first we've seen of your work and it was a welcome surprise and even an anomaly among how-to-plays for its sheer depth & clarity. We're abundantly happy with Rodney (Watch It Played) and Ryan (Nights Around A Table), for example, but we're also immensely appreciative of this approach and we, too, are sad (for the community!) for the forced hiatus of the 6 years during which you dutifully put bread on the table. ;) This is clearly a cut above the rest in the sense that it works especially well for those heavier denser titles in the hobby and is suited to only few talents such as your own. Another channel we esteem in this regard is the elephant herd at Heavy Cardboard. But, again, the teaching is different there; it's on-the-spot and not edited with cut-aways & returns & reminders that reinforce the tricky spots as this style of vid does. This must have been a lot of work. Thank you immensely. What a treasure. Continued luck with your work. As you've probably gathered, these are kudos from rulebook non-readers though we're fully capable, my wife and I, of combing through them when necessary such as we did recently with Great Western Trail while at the cottage without wi-fi, but we're preferentially visual learners, as she likes to put it, and prefer the videos for foundational learning while keeping the rulebooks handy as mere references during game play. As it happens, we recently wanted to table both The Manhattan Project Energy Empire and Lewis & Clark - lighter titles, to be sure - but found no good videos there . . . ;) Cheers. And happy New Year!
Wow! CP. Thanks for the kudos and I appreciate the comparisons to some of the great video creators out there.. It feels really good to be back making videos again in 2020 and I hope you like or can use some of the videos that I have lined up for 2021. I definitely lean a bit more toward the heavier side of things, but will occasionally throw in something lighter so thanks for the two recommendations you put out there! This style of video does take quite a bit of work. So my turnaround time takes a bit longer, and if you don't see anything from me for a couple of weeks, that just means I'm working on something new :). Thank you so much and look forward to hearing from you in the future!
Cracked open my new copy of Pax Pamir last night and your video was invaluable. Subscribed!
Hi Brent, thanks so much for the comment. I hope you enjoyed the unboxing and the weight of the coalition blocks.
Wow, this is such a great tutorial to Pax Pamir. Thank you!
You did a great job: a wonderfull and professional explanation of Pax Pamir; with a relaxing voice. It is a pleasure to listen.
Thanks so much Bie and for the kind words! Glad my voice wasn't annoying :D
Love the Monty Python feeling to the animations! This is a great how-to. I've been thinking about getting this game to solo, and it honestly looks great!
Thanks so much Quinn and for the comment on the animations. That was fun throwing some of those together.
Thank you for creating a remarkable teaching video!
Hi Henry, thanks and so glad you liked it!
Thanks so much for the stellar videos!
This is such a helpful video. Thank you!
Your videos are awesome! Thank you so much for all this precious and amazing work.
I forget to tell you, we think that you still young in the same way as porfiriana videos. LOL
Thank you for the kind words Bernardo. I will say I have quite a few more gray hairs than when I did the Porfiriana videos :). Thanks again!
Fantastic "how to play" - very nice work. Thank you so much for this video
@Falcon Folder You bet! Glad you found it helpful!!
Great video, Thank You! Would love to see a teach of Pax Renaissance.
Thanks William. I like the recommendation for Pax Ren.
Gold Standard “how to?” Yes, and this is it. Thank you for this amazing production
This was an excellent explanation!!
This is an amazing, and the absolute best teach video I have seen
Wow! Thank you for your kind words!
Excellent tutorial, thanks for your work.
Exceptionally well done!!
Pete, I just got Pax Pamir for solo play and while I was excited, I was slightly intimidated. I always start learning a game with a teach video before tackling the rulebook. Your intro/overview video is the best teaching to play video I have ever viewed. You clearly spent a lot of time and effort to make this and it shows. Many other videos by other content creators feel like their are made on the fly (speed over quality), but yours are so well thought out.
You rock! Thank you,
Dennis
Hi Dennis, Thanks so much for your glowing review! If you see my video release dates, you'll see they're bit slower than most RUclipsrs. Of course I'm always working on ways to speed up my workflow and improve quality, but I'm human and I often question whether I'm meeting the needs of my audience or hitting the mark. So thanks so much for the reassurance. I hope you enjoy your matches against the Wakhan!
Tnx for excellent explanation 🔥👍
Thank you so much!
Wow, a lot going on with this game: lot of unique rules. Great video
What was new for me in this one was making decisions about coalition based on game state. That and getting over the guilt I feel when I change coalitions, It's trauma, but I get over it :). Thanks for the comment!
Exceptional stuff
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks Peter - You bet!
oh my god ive been taxing wrong for a year ! ahhhh. thanks for this !
At least there is no department of tax collection you have to make this up to :)
Excellent video on a VERY difficult game to teach. Well Done.
Thanks so much Steve!
Thank you. Great review. Great game. I have only one issue - to find players )
Thank you very much for the excellent video! I appreciate all the love and effort that went into it!
Hi da1otta, I had a great time putting this one together so thank you! Hope you enjoy this one too!
Your videos were super helpful to learn Pax Pamir. Thank you! Would you please consider a solo play through of Red Flag Over Paris?
Best teach ever! Thanks!
Wow! Thank you!
Great. Thank you so much.
You betcha!
Are you planning on doing a how to video for John company 2nd edition? There are no good ones out yet and you really helped me and my group to learn the pax pamir rules 😊
Excellent teaching video. Congratulation.
Hi Pierre, thanks so much!
Oh, yes, and let's not forget our recent gallop into Through The Ages: A New Story. Paul Grogan's vid is still tops but your approach here might be more comprehensive as well (and less rushed) . . .
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Hi I appreciate it Greg! Hope you enjoy this one!
@@ModernTablegamer I do! You're doing an awsome job explaining this game. I bought it a while back, but never tried (the components are amazing, so I had to look at them a bit at least!). Now I'm thinking playing it in a week or two. I liked, I suscribed, and I'm watching your playthrough right now.
Have a good evening, and keep on the good job!
@@gregouellet3403 You do the same!
A perfect tutorial ♥️
It's more clear than the rulebook in wich, even knowing rules, I can't find them 😒
Thanks so much Alessandro!
Fantastic video! In an ever more crowded "marketplace" of board game explanation videos, I think this was one of the best I’ve ever seen - and Pax Pamir is not an easy teach! Only one criticism - the video needed more cheesy Indian restaurant music.
Thanks for the kind wordsRichard! As for the music comment, maybe I’ll have to release an alternate background music version. 😜
Great explaining! Just pre-ordered this game. Do you have any other suggestions for solo or 2 player games you really love?
If only I could play rising sun but my gaming group is pretty much non existing now so really it's just me and my wife now haha
How many rules to add?
Pax Pamir designers: Yes
Love the video but dang this game is complex!
I might need a game of Mage Knight to relax from playing this!🤣
Ha!
Mate, thanks so much, this is an amazing video! Extremely helpful, clear and useful!
Just one potential issue though. At 38:05 you detail the first step of Clean Up being discarding down to hand size. Step two (38:15) is discarding down to court size.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that discarding down to court size comes first, the reason being that cards in the court can affect hand size via blue stars.
@Nick Litzow You're exactly right. Court clean-up does come before hand clean up for that reason. I do have these two reversed. I'll try to work this in my next updates video as it's good for clarification. Thanks so much for the comment!
@@ModernTablegamer Another option would be to add this clarification to the timestamp in the Klingon subtitles. Other rules teachers do this and tell viewers during the intro to turn on Klingon subs in case there are later corrections needed.
Any plans for making a How to Play video about John Company 2nd Edition? You did such an awesome job with Cole Wehrle's other two games: this and Oath :)
This is such a great video! Are you also going to do one on Pax Renaissance?
Thanks so much! I may. I am on the lookout to pick this one up
Lovely video. It's a hefty game, but you a great job explaining it. Are you going to do a play through of John Company?
Hey thanks so much Justin! Thanks for the recommendation for John Company. I've had my eye on this one for a while. Since there is a 2nd edition slated for 2022, I may look to do a play through of it then perhaps. Thanks Again!
Wow, very nice explanation indeed!
But, what about this sound track?! I'm baffled that no one complimented it so far.
Nice work :)
Thanks Marcelo!
Hi Peter,
Many thanks for this excellent summary of the rules. Very useful that you provided plenty of great examples too. I have a few questions though:
1. Could you just confirm that the rupees from the supply can only enter the game through leverage mechanism?
2. What is the utility of having more than 1 road per border? Can you confirm it's just more routes in case one is destroyed and more blocks for dominance checks?
3. You seem to have found sleeves which are discrete enough not to hide splendid artwork of Pax Pamir. Can I ask you where did you get them?
Thanks for the video, i’m grateful. I just want to ask: Can we play a bonus action in the same turn after we play the card based action for the same card?
We leave the ruling discs on the board, and place the ruling player's pieces on the disc when they take over. This requires less looking around to see what's going on.
Hi Ekted, I haven't heard of that one yet. Makes perfect sense to play that way. Do you just put the ruling player's tribe on the ruling token and then either take it off when no one rules to the region, or replace it with another player's tribe if the ruler of the region changes?
@@ModernTablegamer Exactly. In fact, if the board had larger printed circles, you wouldn't even need the wooden ruling discs.
@Ekted Maybe Cole Wehrle can work that in to the 3rd edition to shave cost from production. Thanks for passing this along!
@@ekted I think it would be cool if the ruling tokens had carved out middles to fit the tribe tokens in them neatly. I think it would work pretty easily for all of the identifying shapes except maybe Persia. I love this idea too, it looks like "King of the Hill" or something, and the fact that the tribe is physically elevated over other tribes is just so clear.
Great idea!
Excellent teaching video. I appreciate both your 10,000 ft overview and your more detailed follow for each part/rule. Might I suggest Pax Ren and Pax H+ as well?
Hi Josef. Wow! thanks so much and good suggestions as well.
Now I'm simultaneously scared to and wanting to play this.
Why specify that columns need to be filled top first then bottom 'to help the cards come out when they're supposed to'? The cards are all random, so what difference does it make?
Hi there! A quick question. Can you battle in a region where you don't have a single tribe?
Hello. Can I play card based action in limit of 2 if favor suit not equal suit on the card? For example I have 2 actions:
1. I use card based action tax ( suit one the map war, suit on my card economics)
2. Play card from my hand that change suit on political
3. Use another card from my court for free(bonus) action
Thx
3.
In a 2p game, its required to play with wakhan?
Could you do Pax - Transhumanity next? 🙏🏻
@Elmer Klerk it won't be next, but possible down the road a bit. I've never played this one, but I am thinking about picking it up :)
How do you have the most ruling pieces at 23:40? Isn’t it the same?
Never mind, you answered it at 19:44, roads don’t count
Do you think this is worth it as a strictly 2-player game?
Supposed to try this in 2 days and my puny brain is so intimidated.
You and me both. You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you, but it took me several read throughs of the rules and a few playthroughs before I finally got my head wrapped around this one. Then I had a similar experience when I started to learn how to play solo. I hope your play through goes well!
Hi Peter
Isn't the deck set up incorrect? You added the dominance check cards then shuffled but I'm certain you add these to the bottom of the deck after you've shuffled in the regular event cards?
QUESTION: for your bonus action, is it a limit of one bonus action or can you take more than one action if you have more than 1 card in your court matching the favored suit? My husband and I have argued about this in our first two games. Help my marriage. ;)
I don't understand prizes. What the heck are they? When to use them and why? I've found an event card and it says to discard all of them, what does it mean?
33:25 I can't find anything in the rules requiring you to have as many spies to do a spy battle.
I misunderstood this too! But he said/meant "at least as many spies as the [number of] opponent-spies-you-removed", not "at least as many spies as the opponent [whose] spies you removed". The game examples are correct: you have 2, you can remove up to 2; and so on.
I guess “Rock the Casbah” would have been a copyright strike huh?
28:16
We've only played with closed hands, but I would not object to trying with open hands. I'm just afraid that playing with open hands will lead to some horrible analysis paralysis. It becomes so much of a puzzle played that way.
This a great, helpful video! One suggestion, though -- it would be really nice if occasionally you would refer to other players in the game as "she." Women are under-represented in the gaming world, but some of us love heavy games and inclusion feels really, really nice. Thanks!
HI Jackie, Thanks for the comment! You bet! I'll make this happen in future videos.
