Immerse yourself in the thrilling world of pre-revolutionary Mexico and the U.S. borderlands, where you play as a powerful hacendado striving to build a vast business empire. In Pax Porfiriana, you'll compete to dominate ranches, mines, rails, and banks while outmaneuvering your rivals.
Pax Porfiriana Ultimate Edition is a fully-loaded version of the classic game that started it all for the Pax series. Here’s why you’ll want to get your hands on it:
New Cards Galore: There has been designed a brand-new card Era II set that extends the gameplay into the thrilling aftermath of the original events.
Gorgeous Components: Every component has been given a major upgrade. We’re talking card layout, rules layout , card tweaks, uniquely shaped wooden tokens and money represented by bills issued by the Haciendados themselves, just like during the Mexican revolution.
Portable Perfection: The game is now packed in a smaller, more portable box to honor the original edition’s easy-to-carry design.
