Up Close with Pampero- Julian Pombo's Next Big Euro

Overview - Pampero

Pampero is a hand-management, card-driven action-selection game. Every player has a starting set of eight cards to be played on their own tableau, which contains two rows of spaces to activate actions on the different sectors of the board. Each turn, you have the option to play a card to the leftmost empty space of either row or to retrieve all cards from your tableau. After three actions, a special phase takes place — consolidation, during which you retrieve the rightmost card from any row, generate batteries from stored energy, collect income, and advance the game timer. The player with the most money at the end of the game wins.

This reminds me a lot of Brass and Concordia. I'm in!

OMG is that the size of the actual box? 😁 This looks good, lots going on. Although, personally I think I'd like to see a little more artwork on the map of the main board. Will be checking out the KS for sure.

If we have to compare Games of similar themes, what would be the best comparison w.r.t Pampero. Just for my understanding. Considering I am getting into playing heavy games, especially euro for the first time, want to make the right decision whether I back this or not.

I didn't hear you mention how many players does the game support... and more importantly does it come with a solo bot? I like everything you said about this game and I like to hear how your easy gameplay (place a card) then cascades into many different things during your turn.. very good stuff... if this game supports solo and has a good solo bot I will get it for sure... although it seams like 3-4 players would probably be best... some of us don't have 3-4 players to play though but still like this kind of game solo... thanks for sharing and showing it off...
