My BGG Comment

Great game about political machinations with a well executed historical theme. The market is the only random factor, no hidden information. The loyalty changes and changing coalitions with other players make this one great.

Yashima’s 2022 Top 20 Solo Games
#16 I prefer playing this one multiplayer. But the card play is so compelling that despite having a dislike for the Wakhan bot, every once in a while I bring this to the table just to enjoy playing with the cards. In my opinion, Wakhan has too many edge cases. It gets a bit easier with practice but having to spend a lot of time figuring out the bot turn takes away from the solo fun, so I recommend playing multiple games to figure out if this is a solo for you. Despite Wakhan‘s shortcomings, this is such a good game, it made my Top 20.
