Game Details

Play Time: 45-120 minutes

Suggested Age: 13 and Up 

Step into the political struggle of 19th-century Afghanistan in Pax Pamir: Second Edition, a deeply interactive strategy game designed by Cole Wehrle, creator of Root and Oath. Rather than commanding a single nation, players take the roles of Afghan leaders navigating a shifting political landscape as competing powers attempt to shape the region.

With the Durrani Empire in decline, players build courts, cultivate alliances, deploy tribes, and use spies to strengthen their influence. Afghan, British, and Russian coalitions compete for dominance, but loyalties are never permanent. Players may change allegiances as the political situation evolves, making timing, negotiation, and careful evaluation of opponents central to every game.

Pax Pamir: Second Edition combines historical subject matter with asymmetric strategy and a highly interactive card-driven system. Its distinctive presentation includes illustrated cards, wooden pieces, and a cloth map that reinforces the game's historical setting.
