      Shea is Rhado’s secret son. 🤣 Great review...I’ll have to pick this up when the second print run is released. Great to see a diversity of games on Rhado’s channel.

    I highly recommend this game. Its my second favorite all-time. The whole Pax series of games is grand as well if you find that this one floats your boat.

    Great video! I like that you describe the game by using the term "game state." That sums up something that is a positive point for me in any game. Is it deep enough, that it can accurately be described as having a "game state."

    I m glad to see that Pax series get the attention they deserve. Clever solid games, unique style. I ve Read somewhere that they are not famous as they are heavy. That's a joke. Most of the top bgg games are over 4/5. It is thst its a small publisher. Nice review pal!

    • @RTFM
      @RTFM 4 года назад +1

      Thanks! And yeah, having not played any Pax games before this, I assumed they would be heavier. While it's not the simplest game ever, and from what I hear Pamir is more accessible than most, it wasn't anywhere near as complex as some other, more popular games I've tried.

      It's not for everyone, sure. I was at least curious, but I found myself liking it even more than I thought I would. Hopefully your friends will give it a chance if you bring it out some day.

    @juan-rg3fu 4 года назад +1

    nice review Shea! I get that is better at 3/4p, but would you still get this if you could only play it 2p, and your collection is veeeery curated (read: small)? Because it frankly looks awesome and the theme/tone/setting is superb...

    • @watchmaker17
      @watchmaker17 4 года назад +1

      The game is good with two, but not best with two. Because of the "four point lead = win" rule the game tends to be very fragile where one wrong move or one misread can doom a player and end the game. Also I have found in my two player games that one of the factions (British, Russian, Afghani) tends to be ignored due to the build-up in the other two which leads to a less dynamic (more binary) board-state.

    • @RTFM
      @RTFM 4 года назад +1

      As Andrew said it's good with two, but better with more. Although you can add the AI player to round it out. That'll definitely add a bit more chaos into the mix, which helps keeps things interesting. As for my collection, I hate wasting money so I'm very selective when it comes to buying games. Plus I have enough friends with their own collections that if they have a game I like, I don't usually buy it for myself.

    Great review. I sold my copy because it was too tactical for me. By the time it’s your turn again the board state can change so drastically that all your plans fly out of the window. You lose cards, majorities shift, gifts fall a part. I would have hoped for at least a bit more strategy.

    Hi, Rahdo, May I know your rating for this game? It seems I couldn’t find it on your BGG collection.
    Do you and Jen enjoy it as a 2-player game or do you recommend it as a 2-player game?

    I have only played this two player and without the ai it seemed a little to decisive.
    I really want to play 3 or above tho

    • @RTFM
      @RTFM 4 года назад

      I definitely feel like 3+ is the way to go. Getting all three factions on the board at once seems to be how the game is meant to be played. Still, I enjoyed with two, though in the future I would probably add the AI for a third player just to mix things up a bit.

      i will be doing that eventually, once they're established. you're missing out though, since shea ran through this *exactly* as i would. so i'd suggest giving it a try :)
