PAX RENAISSANCE: Money, influence and politics packed in a 30minute game.

[Arcturian]

I bought a copy of the 1st edition of Pax Renaissance but haven't played it yet. Can anyone tell me if the differences between the two are so different that learning to play the 2nd edition here on BGA would be insufficient for the 1st edition?

Cheers, Joe

They play similarly enough that learning one version of the game will go a long way towards teaching you the other, but the game is complex enough that keeping track of all the differences can be tricky. There's a complete list of changes here:

Really, a great game and excellent implementation. Thank you! Now another gap of missing games in BGA has been closed. Wonderful. Now I only wait for Brass!

what is the other Ion Game Design's game here?

[echomancer]

Pretty sure that is a reference not to another ION game, but another PAX game, in which case you get Pax Pamir 2e

One of the best games ever. Thank u very much. Now BGA only needs Brass and Nokosu dice to be perfect.
