Pampero Board Game, Deutsch Edition

Description

Edição em Alemão

Mangels natürlicher Ressourcen und um nicht in hohem Maße abhängig von Energieimporten aus den Nachbarländern zu sein, hat die Regierung Uruguays Anreize geschaffen, die Stromerzeugung und -verteilung im eigenen Land zu verbessern.

An erster Stelle steht der Ausbau von Stromnetzen in ländlichen Gebieten, die den größten Teil des Landes ausmachen. Danach steht die Verbesserung der Stromversorgung im Allgemeinen auf der Agenda – sowohl in den Großstädten als auch in abgelegenen Gebieten.

Glücklicherweise weht der starke Winterwind Pampero über Uruguay und macht das Land damit zu einem idealen Ort für die Stromerzeugung durch Windkraftanlagen. Einige der ländlichen Gebiete könnten ihre Stromversorgung sogar mit Solarenergie ergänzen.

Pampero ist ein kartengesteuertes Aktionsauswahlspiel, das ein hohes Maß an strategischer Planung erfordert. Ihr müsst Einkommen, Energieversorgung und Aktionskarten gleichermaßen beachten, um die variablen Wertungskriterien bestmöglich zu erfüllen.
Ihr müsst euer Stromnetz ausbauen und den Energiebedarf im ganzen Land decken, um das profitabelste Unternehmen zu beherrschen!

With no natural resources, the Government of Uruguay is concerned about the country’s dependence on imported fossil fuels. As a consequence, it is seeking to increase the share of domestic resources, of which the most feasible are biomass and wind energy, as well as employing end-use energy efficiency measures to increase its energy security. In addition, the government aims to use the intended growth of the domestic energy sector to foster its other objectives of increasing economic growth and creating employment.

"Toward noon, however, the sun's rays were extremely scorching, and when evening came, a bar of clouds streaked the southwest horizon - a sure sign of a change in the weather. The Patagonian pointed it out to the geographer, who replied: 'Yes, I know;' and turning to his companions, added, 'see, a change of weather is coming! We are going to have a taste of PAMPERO.' And he went on to explain that this PAMPERO is an extremely dry wind which blows from the southwest. [...] The PAMPERO generally brings a tempest which lasts three days, and may be always foretold by the depression of the mercury, 'he said. 'But when the barometer rises, on the contrary, which is the case now, all we need expect is a few violent blasts. So you can make your mind easy, my good friend; by sunrise the sky will be quite clear again.' ( Jules Verne, 1868: In Search of the Castaways. CHAPTER XVI: THE NEWS OF THE LOST CAPTAIN. )

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.
