Has anyone here played Pax Pamir: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/256960/pax-pamir-second-edition ?
If so, what are your thoughts on the game?
We had a couple of pbem games of it here. It's a clever and fun system but ultimately I enjoyed Pax Porfiriana more due to less abstraction. No idea about the other Pax games.
Key play tip: Play Evacuate Embassy Personnel card BEFORE withdrawing troops from the capital.
I haven't played, but heard great things about it, including here. So I backed the reprint and should receive my copy this fall sometime.
Could you imagine how much fun a Languis John Company game would be?
People would be murdered.
Or we'd quietly drop the game after just a few turns :P
I'd be happy to organize a Languish John Company game provided that people could commit to a 24-hour discussion timer for each position. Each turn would probably take up to a week? A dry run of a potential 6-turn game could be wrapped up in two months, which isn't bad.
The real trick is organizing people in different time zones, as usual.

It's great, definitely the 2nd-strongest in the series for me (Pax Renaissance being the first).
I don't agree that it has more abstraction that Pax Porfiriana.
I have the 2nd edition (was an early backer), it's somewhat different from the 1st (which I think we played here on Languish). I like it and would be up for a game.

You did play a game on Languish; I remember enjoying reading the thread as a bystander to the game.
Do I sense 4 other players?

Yeah, I enjoyed our first bout.
