Pax Porfiriana - Latin for "The Porfirian Peace" - refers to the 33-year reign of dictator Porfirio Díaz, who ruled Mexico with an iron hand until toppled by the 1910 Revolution.

In the board game Pax Porfiriana you play as a rich businessman (Hacendado) in the turbulent pre-revolutionary borderlands of the U.S. and Mexico. Players compete to build business empires of ranches, mines, rails, troops, and banks while subverting opponents with bandidos and lawsuits.

Each turn goes as follows:

  ‣ Action Phase: Perform three actions, such as play new cards, get new cards from the market, speculate on cards in the market, purchase land, or redeploy troops.

  ‣ Discard Headlines: Remove any Headlines (i.e. cards with the Bull-Bear icon) that have reached the leftmost position in the Market.

  ‣ Restore Market: Restore the Market to twelve cards.

  ‣ Income Phase: Collect one gold per Income, Extortion, and Connection Cube in play. If Depression, pay one gold for each card in play (includes Partners and Enterprises in your Row, and all of your Troops).
