Pax Pamir: Second edition

Fight for control of Afghanistan

In the game Pax Pamir, the players fight for control of Afghanistan. They buy cards from the central market and play them in front of them for actions (or to antagonize others).

To survive, they organize themselves into coalitions. Occasionally a dominance check occurs in the game. If a single coalition has an advantage during any of the checks, the players loyal to the coalition receive victory points. However, if Afghanistan remains fragmented during the checks, the players receive victory points based on their personal power base.

After each dominance check, it is checked whether there is a win. The game ends when a single player can gain a lead of four or more victory points or after the fourth dominance check has been made.
