Welcome to the infrastructure puzzle of Pampero, full of excrutiating efficiency choices! If you can work quickly to build out your wind farm and electricity tower network in Uruguay you might find that your opponents are forced to turn to you for access. Manage your money well, and choose how to spend your energy wisely. Will you choose more options in actions, or cheaper actions? Argh!

Thanks for stopping by for our preview of Pampero! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
