Based on your description, this has shot high on to my wish list…

It’s an acquired taste, and it’s a little abrupt at 2, you want 3 or more ideally, but it’s unique.
I’ve got two friends who will be all over this one, I’m sure.

The green and pink pieces on the map look dangerously, seductively, edible.

My phone’s camera is a great one for providing slightly washed-out colours, but Pax Pamir is actually a very nice looking game, and some of the very minor improvements people have made to some of the pieces, like a little ink wash, makes them look superb.

Very nice edition, and there’s a reprint coming to KS this year if you don’t mind waiting a little.
Are the pieces already etched? I don’t like painting my bits but a quick wash might be doable for me.
I think the reprint might be the only option at the moment as a very quick search on my main storefronts didn’t show an available copy.
Yup. Without a wash they still look nice.

But the circular region pieces in particular benefit from some highlighting.
Just dipping into all of the Pax Pamir 2 talk. I loved my one play of it. It helped that I won, but it is such a great design anyway that I’d still be saying that.
I’d love to get it to the table again.
So I have fallen victim to “RTFM” style currency exchange. I backed the “Dice Throne Adventures” plus season 1/2 rerolled and thought “why not go full and buy legendary collector with minis” which was $400 but thought, you know? I am worth it.
Turns out that was USD. Not AUD. So it was closer to $600AUD.
More than a little embarrassed, could have bought a second Switch for that!
Oh well, it better be amazing.

Okay. Pax Pamir on the list.

Let me know what you think of Adventures. I like Dice Throne quite a lot as a light Yahtzee-meets-RPG combat game. I’ve only got Season 2 because of the S1/Adventures compatibility issues, but am eagerly awaiting the retail versions of season 1 reprints and Adventures.
I can’t responsibly buy it currently, but Dune has got me thirsting for another great 6 player game, and along comes Westphalia.

Hadn’t heard of this and it sounds great. The 6 player count is daunting, however. We rarely (never?) have 6 players or, if we do, there will be at least one that I wouldn’t trust with something more difficult than Codenames.
I’ll still buy it because I’m a sick, sick man.
Wondering about Dune. I have it but have never played. Was going to teach it in a couple weeks to my group but, again, we’re only 5. I know it plays best 6, but is 5 worthwhile? Is it still a good game at that count or should I shelve it and find something else?

Westphalia is 6 only. That attracts me, peversely.
Dune is still worth it at 5. At 4 or less forget it.

Cool, thank you.

Not soon enough, mate.
I bought the game but resisted the canvas map. I’m not a lost cause after all!
There’s a canvas map???!!!???
