Pax Porfiriana Ultimate Edition

DESCRIPTION

Pax Porfiriana – Latin for “Porfirian Peace” – refers to the 33-year reign of dictator Porfirio Díaz, who ruled Mexico with an iron fist until his overthrow in the 1910 Revolution.

As a wealthy businessman (Hacendado) in the turbulent pre-revolutionary borderlands of the United States and Mexico, players compete to build business empires of ranches, mines, railroads, troops, and banks, subverting their opponents with bandidos, Native Americans, and lawsuits. Each round plays out as follows:

1. Action Phase: Perform three actions, such as playing new cards, getting new cards from the market, speculating on cards in the market, buying land, or redeploying troops.
2. Discard Stocks: Remove all stocks (e.g. cards with the Bull-Bear icon) that have reached the leftmost position in the market.
3. Reset Market: Resets the market to twelve cards.
4. Income Phase: Collect one gold for each income, extortion, and connection cube in play. If you are depressed, pay one gold for each card in play (including partners and businesses in your row and all your troops).

There are four "score" cards (Toppling) in the game and their effect depends on the current form of government. The government can change if troops are played and as a result of other cards. The form of government also affects several production values ​​in the game, such as the amount produced by mines. Players win by overthrowing Díaz, through a coup, succession, revolution, or the annexation of Mexico by the United States. If Díaz remains firmly in office at the end of the game, the player with the most gold wins.

The Ultimate Edition includes a brand new set of Era II cards that extend the gameplay into the aftermath of the original events.
