Incidentally, I like this game quite a bit. Sadly the theme is too obscure for my regular playing group to take on it, otherwise I'll buy it.

Maybe I could try Pax Renaissance, since it has a more accessible theme. Is it too different?

I have started reading the book referenced in the rulebook, its fun to read all these different people that I know from the cards, but let's be honest: the theme is paperthin in this game, especially if you compare it to other Ecklund games.

OK, I will pay the money and send the spies your way instead.

Yeah I am sure that was not your original plan.

Actually, I just realized it would cost me 2 rupees, which I am not paying no matter what, so the point is moot. Will have to think about this some more. Stupid military regime when there are no Afghan troops at all!

[Berkut]

1. Pick up Bahadur
2. Tax Punjab, and take two rupees from Cel

You can't do that. No purple tribes in Punjab.

[Berkut]

Well crap.

[Berkut]

There is very little I can do here. My cards are both Transcapian, and my "ally" thinks this is a zero sum game where he should harm the only other person on the board playing on his side, who is in a clear last place.

[Berkut]

OK, instead of taxing cel, duh, I will just travel my spy a card over.

Fix posted. Sorry cel.

[Tamas]

1. Get Bukharan Jews for free
2. Play Bukharan Jews to my left, get 1 rupee from Leveraged, place 1 spy, regime is now Economic Boom
3. Free action Commerce with Lapis Mine, grabbing the two rupees available in the market
4. Free action Gift with Balkh Arsenic Mine, buying my first gift for 2 rupees
5. I believe I am over my tableau limit so I am discarding Balkh Arsenic Mine.

My run as a mining magnate did not last long.

End, we have a new Topple! File has been uploaded.

Berkut I'll need you to put some Afghan units on the map. Then I will take on the burden of moving them with my Afghan special card

[Berkut]

I need money, so you will have to pay me.

[celedhring]

He's trying to trick you into winning the game for him, B 

Make him pay at least 

[Berkut]

Pfft, he couldn't trick a Trump supporter into blaming Hillary.

Trying to engage in diplomacy with the beet farmer is a waste of time.

[Tamas]

 

I am reluctant to pay you, since it is in your own best self interest to try and build up an anti-British presence that is not directly controlled by Habbaku. The Afghan side has no chance of winning this Topple, we need to look for survival.
