Pan Am Board Game, Strategy Board Game, 2-4 Players 6 and Up

Ordered this as new, but got a dirty box that had the original circular seals cut and then taped over. As I don't want to deal with missing pieces (this literally happened to me with another game in the same order), I didn't even open the box and immediately asked for a replacement. Currently waiting... The only thing I can say so far about the game itself is that the design is beautiful.

Great fun especially fobthe kids

Bardzo ciekawa gra planszowa, idealna na wieczorne posiedzenia z rodzina, lub znajomymi. Jedyny minus to brak polskiego, ale wystarczy znajmosc podstaw angielskiego.

This game is so much fun. Beyond that, the vintage aesthetic is truly beautiful. Aesthetic aside the game is impeccably well designed, with heavy random elements yet a fine balance between different strategies. I have to laugh at all the reviews saying it’s too complicated to figure out... this isn’t just some monopoly re-skin. The biggest draw backs are the currency is kind of flimsy(we just use poker chips). The game feels overwhelming when you first pick it up due to all the rules, but the mechanics are all really quite simple once you get in the swing of things. I mentioned the replay ability- this game has so many random elements that no two play through are the same. Furthermore the game plays very differently depending on how many players you have, two feels radically different than 4. On our first play through everyone ended with the same amount of stock, real narrow victory for the player who had the most money (the tiebreaker). None of us knew what the 4 options for round 7 events were, so some players held cash hoping the stock would crash even though that wasn’t even an option. I think it’s good for players to understand what the final options are. Most (though not all) tend to swing heavily to players with a lot of routes vs those who have sold there routes earlier to pan am (which is effectively a lot higher pay) so it’s an interesting way to keep balance so there’s not always a clear winner beforehand. Main drawback is it can feel a little like random chance who comes out the victor. Balance wise as mentioned it doesn’t feel like there’s too dominant a strategy due to the balancing effects of the even cards, and the fact that there’s ample routes and resources to collect so gameplay never feels overwhelmingly cutthroat. You can attempt to raise prices for opponents and block their moves, but it often comes at a cost to you as far as increasing prices/risks/ losing a valuable worker action. Overall again this game is incredibly fun and beautiful. It’s not as complicated as the negative reviews would have you think. I hope this game gains the popularity it deserves and isn’t lost to 2020 like so much else good on the world.

Lo compramos porque unos amigos lo llevaron y la pasamos un súper buen rato en familia. Llegó rápido, de buena calidad. Muy recomendable para toda la familia
