Pax Porfiriana Discussion and Strategy
But 200, using less than half (except for really big games) gives a great game. Things are familiar, but not guaranteed. Some of the seriously drastic things, like Governors, may not appear at all.
Definitely one of my favorite parts of this game. So much depends just on what the deck coughs up and when.

Agghh. Now it's selling for $50+. I guess I'll pre-order Greenland to numb the pain. I noticed that Greenland only has 60 cards, as opposed to the 200 cards of Pax. Maybe this will be the first simple game released by the Eklund group.

Unless someone bought it in the last 48 hours he's got one copy left. No box or rules though. If anybody is still on the fence you better snatch it. Just email Phil.Msample wrote:
Not Sure wrote: Here's a note from Phil Eklund over on BGG (commenting on a review):
I can only add that there are only two dozen Pax Porfiriana left for sale on my www.sierra-Madre-games.eu website. I may do a small reprint if demand is high enough.
If you think you might want this game and haven't bought it yet, now's the time.
Surprised it lasted this long - almost 18 months to sell out . It has a small but loyal following.
Buy now - it will only get more expensive once it goes out of print.

I actually really like how the current cards look though. More games need strawberry milk pink.

And the biggest thing to emphasize is that this game has kind of deeply interesting interactions between players and the game state but it is such a small, short game in many respects. Rare to get those two things together.
Makes me want to buy a copy of Pax Pamir, but I'm not sure I need it since I haven't played this game enough. Has anyone explored it at all? What's different re: Porfiriana?

I like it a lot though despite this.
The collector's editions from Sierra Madre are shipping out now. Should have mine soon.
