Review Detail

A great entry into the Pax series, with a wobbling board state that is competely upset by structural changes to trade routes. Relative to Pax Porfiriana, this is a less punishing game that makes it much more difficult for opponents to clear your board and strip your tableau. Despite the bizarre and upsetting rulebook material, the game itself is actually a fascinating take on European development that resembles a narrative like Charles Tilly's.
