What this is
Pax Pamir: Second Edition places players in nineteenth-century Afghanistan as local leaders navigating rivalry among Afghan, British, and Russian coalitions. Cards bought from a shared market enter a personal court and provide actions for building roads, raising tribes, moving armies, spying, taxing, and changing allegiance. Dominance checks repeatedly test whether one coalition controls the region, but personal influence and a well-timed shift in loyalty determine who actually benefits.
