Pax Pamir Second Edition - Solo Playthrough vs. the Wakhan

Thank you so much for this series. Pax Pamir 2nd Edition was a game that stood on my shelf since I received it from the 2nd kickstarter campaign and I've been intimated to dive in. This 3 part series helped me tremendously to take on the Wakhan (starting 10 min ago!). Thank you.

[@ModernTablegamer]

Awesome Ryan! I love it and good luck vs. the Wakhan!

[@ryanespin4071]

@@ModernTablegamer I think I did it right. Ended up only having two dominance checks due to the Wakhan never having enough money to buy a Dominance card. Game ended with a defeat for the Wakhan, 9 - 3. UPDATE: 2nd game lost to the Wakhan, 6 - 2.

[@ilqrd.6608]

Easily one of the best playthroughs I have ever seen. Learning Wakhan has been a incredibly frustrating experience for me but now I see what the problem was. The rulebook does not help at all to convey what the basic flow of the solo experience is like so all you’re left with is a one page in the rulebook. Thank you very much for this video. Subbed!

[@ModernTablegamer]

HI Ricky, It's good to be back and thanks so much for the kind words! I've always been fan of your videos and was blown away to find out about all the solo variants you designed outside of Pax Pamir. One of these days I need to try your variant to Pax Porfiriana. That's always been a favorite of mine, but one I have a hard time getting others to play. So with that said, I'm anxious to see what you're working on next ;). Thanks again!

@@ModernTablegamer Thank you Pete. Your Pax Porfiriana videos were second to none and got me into that game .. it's a beauty! Enjoy this one too. What a nail biter!! Nice finish at the end// so close... ! What am I working on? Renegade remaster (under a new name) is one project; and i've just signed a contract with another publisher for a new game, but too soon to spill on that one yet...! Meanwhile, solo variants: I'm currently working on "On the Origin of Species" solo rules and am really enjoying that one. Looking forward to your next video! best wishes, Ricky.

[@jaybear7272]

This is brilliant - the best playthrough I've seen of a board game (and I've seen a few)! I particularly like how you explained not just your thought process, but also the rules and priority choices at each and every step throughout the game, and didn't just assume that if you'd explained a rule previously, the viewer will have remembered it. That made the gameplay so easy to follow. I had been umming and ahhing about buying Pax Pamir purely because of the cost (after import taxes and delivery over $100 here in the UK), but seeing this video convinced me to take the plunge anyway and order it! Hope you make many more playthrough videos!

[@ModernTablegamer]

Hi Jay. Thanks for the kind words and the motivation! I need repetition when I learn something new otherwise concepts just don't stick. I sometimes think that maybe I am repeating myself too much in one of these. So thanks for your affirmation :). Sorry I tempted you into picking this one up ;). I sure hope you enjoy it as much as I do when you get this one.

It is no wonder that the two brothers nominated your sites as the go-to-sites. They can't do everything - and besides, their genius in game design and production is better spent doing just that.

[@saifchoudhury164]

Great video, and great video series! Your instruction, explanations, and description of your thought process are so clear and easy to listen to, and the presentation and editing are fantastic! I’ve recommended your videos to all of my friends, as I try to get them on board with Pax Pamir 2E. Strategic note: there were a bunch of times during this playthrough where, if you had pivoted from an Afghan dominance strategy to an unsuccessful dominance strategy, you could potentially have won sooner. There were a number of turns where you could have afforded to place a cylinder, remove a Wakhan cylinder, and purchase the Dominance card, in order to break the tie and secure the 2-point differential. The majority of my games against the Wakhan are a 6-2 victory after two unsuccessful dominance checks (although I’ve had a bunch of games go to a third or even fourth dominance check at times). My rubric for attacking the Wakhan is to keep her poor, keep her off of political cards, keep her from ruling regions (goes with the previous tip), and to pay slightly more attention to cylinders than blocks. Do you have any plans to follow this video up with a strategy video? Keep up the good work!

[@ModernTablegamer]

Thanks so much Saif and thanks for the strategy tips. I like your advice to focus on cylinders rather than blocks and will make that my focus next time I play the Wakhan. It's not impossible that I make a strategy video sometime in the future, but for now rules and gameplay is my primary focus. Thanks so much again!

[@andygrant5894]

Really enjoyed that, watched over three sessions with my first solo game sandwiched between second and third session. I lost on the last dominance check! I think you made an error with Wakhan’s court at 1:36 though as she has three purple stars (2 on Kabul and 1 on Punjab) sonher court size would be six. You discarded to five. But hey! I’d never have got the solo game played without this video. Superb and well done on the win.

[@ModernTablegamer]

Well thanks so much Andy! Yeah, I missed the extra star at 1:36:00 in the Wakhan's court at the end and discarded the European Cannons card for the Wakhan. At least from what I can tell, this didn't affect the outcome of the game. At least I hope :)

[@andygrant5894]

@@ModernTablegamer I don’t think it affected the end of the game either. I had to check the rule twice before typing it out.

Thanks Mike! I definitely hear you on continuing to use the rulebook. Once you think you have the solo game down, out comes a Dominance Check card :)

[@MikeSigsworth]

@@ModernTablegamer EXACTLY!! Such a fun game though. On another note, may I ask about your camera setup? How do you have it move from one position to another like that? Seems like that could also be used for remote gaming. You could allow other players to remote control the camera to check out different areas of the table state.

[@ModernTablegamer]

@@MikeSigsworth the camera that I move around like that is an automated PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) camera that really could be used for exactly what you're talking about. I can move it around and preset it up to 10 positions. I'm not sure this one could be set up for remote use, but I know there are others out there that definitely are.

[@Feldingor]

This was the most satisfying and most clear playthrough for a solo game of Pax Pamir! Thank you, great video. I think that you forgot to put two Wakan rupees back in the supply at 59:17 when you removed a leveraged card from her court.

[@ModernTablegamer]

Hi Marco and thank you! I did forget to do that. I always hope that when I forget something in a play through that it wasn't in my favor. So at least if I win, I can feel better about it :). Thanks again!

[@BoxofDelights]

Super playthrough. One thing you missed, at 1:36:48 you discarded Wakhan down to 5 cards, but as it goes she had 3 political stars, so didn't have to discard the Eurpean Cannons. A nice card to lose, as those 3 stars could have made a difference. In the end it didn't matter: the dominance was superbly won with the political battles. Nicely done ;)

[@ModernTablegamer]

Yeah, I missed that there were three stars in her court on that one. I'll blame that on an end game miss. I'm glad in this case it didn't appear to have affected the result though. If it had, I would have to put a big asterisk next to this victory ;). I thank you so much for your input. It's funny that sometimes you look at rules, re-read rules, check BGG forums and even review a couple other videos to make sure you're showing the game correctly, but you always fear you play a rule incorrectly or mis-interpret a rule. So thanks for your expert validation on this one and keep on creating those great solo variants! I don't think I would have taken to this game as much as I have without it.

[@nacholiron]

At 1:22:30 the Wakhan does not move, but not because she would lose anything. It's because there are no roads and armies can only move through friendly roads.

[@ModernTablegamer]

That. was my thought there!

[@Feldingor]

Wakhan doesn’t need roads to move armies 🤔 She could move and wouldn’t lose rule in Punjab since she doesn’t use her pragmatic coalition to rule. She considers dominant pieces the armies of the single most numerous color (in that case British, but it could be any since she’s the only one with a tribe there)

I know it’s a board game but this was exhilarating. When he didn’t buy and play the Herat card on turn 10 to switch the favored suit to political (and could have then used five bonus actions [including ones he still ended up using regular actions for]) I wanted to jump up and down lol

[@adilmajid8785]

At 17:00, when the dominance card is out, you still go through the Wakhans action tree? I thought it automatically goes for the altered radicalize actions (radicalizing a patriot of the dominant coalition, etc) to maximize it's benefit from when the dominance check card in the market triggers. Does it only do that altered radicalize action when it hits the 'radicalize' action on it's action tree? If so, I played really wrong and made it easy harder on myself lol

[@waiyisit]

If you put a card closer to the camera such as at 39:45, it might help the camera focus on the card text if you put your hand behind it to block out the background. Great video otherwise! I learnt how to play against the Wakhan thanks to you!

[@ModernTablegamer]

Thanks for the tip on the focusing at 39:45! I hope you enjoy playing the dreaded Wakhan!

[@st1791]

I am watching your video to learn how to play against the Wakhan. It is helping me quite a lot. I do have a question around the 17:43 mark after she chooses not to buy the first Dominance card. At this point you refer back to the actions on her AI card. Is that right? I expected her to look to purchase an Afghan Patriot card from the market, and failing that the cheapest card with Armies and/or Roads. Thanks!

[@ModernTablegamer]

Hi Scott, When there is a dominance card in the market, the Wakhan will buy it if it meets the criteria and if she has enough rupees as an automatic reaction that is not on her Wakhan card. If she doesn't have enough rupees or she does not have the advantage, then she passes on buying this card and starts going down the list on her Wakhan card. Then if she has the radicalize action, she will follow her logic tree depending on if she is going for blocks or cylinders. I'm going off of memory on this one, so hopefully that makes sense. Thanks so much!

[@gertdelen5993]

Is your court size depending on the number of political cards in your court or the number of purple stars on the cards? (see 1:36:50 as an example of my question)

[@ModernTablegamer]

Hi again Gert, Yes, court size is dependent on purple stars which are on political cards if I remember right. There was one place in this play through where I think I needed to discard because I didn't have enough purple stars in my court and I didn't

[@dagaard42]

Thank you for this really great video. Did you iron the "board"? 🤔

[@ModernTablegamer]

I actually did! I got my copy used from the BGG marketplace and I couldn’t get it to lay quite flat. My fear during ironing was that i would damage the colors so I used a pretty low temp on the iron. Whoever thought there would be an ironing conversation about board games? 😅

[@drnn]

Awesome video, as always! At 1:25:44 shoudn’t the Wakhan have payed you 1 rupee? (bribe) Also, at 1:33:10 I think you should have payed Wakhan 2 rupees since she has 2 tribes in Kabul? So in the end it actually evens out! Edit: just saw that you are aware of that already, great video!!

[@ModernTablegamer]

Thanks drmn. I always hope when making a mistake (especially when you win) is that it evens out :)

[@sloikalamos]

1:23:58 I think the most optimal was take the Kandahar card on the bott row since you will change back the suit to political. You can battle for free

[@sloikalamos]

ah you did it the turn after lol. But I think if you could do it a turn sooner you could do more damage. You will still win anyway. Nice playthrough!

[@JackieFox1976]

Very helpful video (certainly way more helpful than that rulebook). How do you manage to keep from bumping those cylinders off the player mats constantly when you sit in front of yours in a multi-player game (or have you not tried that)? It's not Terraforming Mars in that respect, but it's annoying how easy it is to brush them right off.

[@ModernTablegamer]

Thanks Jackie! Yes! Early on during recording I had a couple of brushes with these cylinders and had to straighten them out from one shot to the next. I did however become a bit more aware of them later where I avoided the "brush-off".

[@ModernTablegamer]

You are 100% correct! Good catch! Now I feel better about the mistake I made toward the end of the game :D. Thanks so much!

[@hiroprotagonist4023]

I'm curious about 26:00 where you claim that Wakhan's pragmatic loyalty overrides the color of blocks given on the patriot card. How did you arrive at that conclusion? My understanding is that Wakhan's pragmatic loyalty only determines the color of blocks placed for neutral cards, but for patriots, she still has to play blocks in the color of the patriot. Unfortunately, the rules do not seem to make this clear, is there an errata or something out there that I'm unaware of? Thanks for clearing this up!

[@sugarwatersugar]

Its the same rule for Patriots, see bottom of page 17 of the rulebook

[@victorgonzalez2927]

Why wouldn’t Wakan @ 11:10 take the card in the bottom 1 spot instead?

[@keshavjee1977]

In a case of a tie l, Wakhan should choose the cheaper card (red arrow on on her card does not apply in this case) - 11:39

[@Snuckyfication]

Thank you for this very nice explanation! I have one question though, at around 44 before the dominance check, wakhan loses the two political cards, isn’t she then also over her court size? (4 cards and no purple stars...)

[@ModernTablegamer]

Thanks Snuckyfication for the comment! The timing of the clean up phase made it legal for the Wakhan to have 4 cards in her court without at least one purple star. She already went through step one of the clean up phase which reduced the size of the Wakhan's court and I believe she had 3 purple stars at the time so she could still have 6 cards in her court. During the 3rd step of clean up there was an event card in the "0" cost column that was resolved that removed the two tribes of the Wakhan's in Punjab and this also removed the two political Punjab cards the Wakhan had in her court, but since she already went through court clean up, this wouldn't affect her court until her next clean up phase. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@Snuckyfication]

Great, thanks for the clarification!

[@ModernTablegamer]

@@Snuckyfication you bet!

[@peterjack2333]

Hello. In turn 3 you play action from the Wakhan card, but the dominance card is in the market. The instruction says: If there is a Dominance Check in the Market: Wakhan only purchases a Dominance Check event card if she will score the most points from the check (and/or wins). However, when a Dominance Check is in the market, Wakhan will choose the cheapest Patriot loyal to the dominant coalition, then the cheapest card with the most Army and/or Road impact icons, or, if no coalition is dominant, she will choose the cheapest card with the most spy and/or tribe impact icons. If there is a tie, use the highest card number. Is this a bug?

[@damjanm5557]

Want to check something: on Turn 2, when Wakhan Radicalizes a card with Move action and there are 5 cards with Move action, do you pick a card according to Wakhan's priorities? How is card Claude Wade picked? BTW, thanks for the playthrough! Edit: I caught it later that Radicalize goes for the cheapest card :)

@@ModernTablegamer You doing the best "learning" videos I saw so far tbh. I ll have a look at your other videos. Keep up the good work :-)

4:39 is this different in a solo game? In normal game, you only pay the cost to the region leader when you play it in your tableau, not when you select it from the market.

Hi willbeplayin, this is same in the solo game. In the case at 4:39 Rangit Singh was purchased and played by the Wakhan through the radicalize action I no one yet controlled Punjab. For future turns if I play a Punjab card, I will have to pay the Wakhan for each tribe. Hope this makes sense!

@@ModernTablegamer Yes, I know, but in that part of the video you said "So that means that if I BUY cards from the market, I'll have to pay her a bribe" which is NOT correct. You only pay the bribe when you PLAY a card from your hand to the same region, NOT when you get cards from the market. :)

[@ModernTablegamer]

@@willbeplayin You are correct. I mis-spoke in the video. My thought of course in the video was that the bribe would need to be played when the card is played, not when purchased from the market, it just came out wrong. Thanks for the clarification!

[@willbeplayin]

@@ModernTablegamer Yup, it happens. :)
