Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game vs Pax Pamir 2e

So we add the values of all these skill cards and remember in this particular instance, purples and blues are positive, while yellows greens and reds ...

3 coalitions(British, Russian, Afghan) are fighting over the country after the fall of the Durrani Dynasty. You are one of several tribesmen who are working to keep themselves on top after the dust clears. Work for or against one of the 3 coalitions, as well as against the other tribesmen. It looks great, the cloth map and pieces are stunning

Robinson Crusoe - The first time we played it completely correct after about 10 plays and barely squeaked out a victory in the castaways scenario. We were excelling until the 6 round when the weather took its toll on us but if good items in hand and a lucky treasure card draw we survived!

They are robots who look like human beings, we're going to try and secretly sabotage your missions and then once you figure out who they are, they hav...

**To The Death!**: Tiny small box with HUGE gameplay and variability. Solo players with interest in party synergies, absurd replayability and tactical combat should *not* overlook this one.

This is a pretty in-depth game and usually takes a couple of turns around the board in order to get into the rhythm but once you do you can go pretty quickly. My friends and I usually manage to play through a game in 1.5-3 hours so it’s a nice strategy game to play on a weeknight after work or to play through a few times on a weekend afternoon. The game is Humans vs

\- Because it's a game that rewards creative moves and out of the box thinking more than it rewards system mastery.

For me hidden role games at their purest are awful but I tend to like them when there is another layer of gameplay added. To that end I really dislike basic Werewolf and The Resistance but don't mind Bang! and now really like Battlestar Galactica. First of all, probably the best implementation of theme I've ever seen for a board game, and all done without sacrificing gameplay. I love the show and love how the character cards and their bonuses/penalties reflect the characters from the show

My description is pretty dry, but the game itself was very thematic. Lots of Putin jokes, references to Russian famine for us poor players, making fun of my poor "Kabul" pronunciation but also giving me a pass 'cause it hasn't been in American news in 20 years. Also, a unique choice for American independence day.

You may want to take a break between the practice round and restarting the game. I play games with my wife and another married couple. What usually happens with longer board games is two people will get the game set up and refresh themselves on the rules (or learn them if it is the first time playing the game). While this takes place the other two will get dinner ready

There's a rule in Pax Pamir that encapsulates its genius. "Players are free to discuss the game during play and explicitly coordinate their actions. However, any agreed-upon deal should be considered non-binding." In other words, double-crossing is allowed! Pax Pamir puts you in the mind of an Afghan tribal leader, with only situational allegiance to your own government, or to the imperialist British or Russians

This is not a little child's gift item; it's for boardgame junkies who can play complex games based on the series. The recipient (26 years old) was delighted with it.

Age of Civilization has an interesting civilization drafting mechanic that varies with every setup, along with a half-dozen solo variants, tons of replay value & depth. Getting the right combo together can carry a player quite far.
