Description
From the publisher's website:
Axis & Allies Pacific is the second stand-alone game expansion to the Axis & Allies game system. In this game, three main powers (Britain, Japan, and the US) square off against each other against the backdrop of the Pacific ocean. Japan is trying to grow her empire, either through military might or by holding off the Allies long enough to consolidate her gains.
The game adds a few new rules and a few new twists to the established A&A game system. Naval bases and air bases turn small, meaningless islands into vital strategic holdings. Convoy zones allow a single submarine pack to cripple an economy. The Chinese forces, while limited, are hard to crush. Japan gets her kamikazes, but will it be enough to hold off the vast economic power of the USA?

Quotes (from this video)
- I really like this game because you got the the the Germans are really strong and tough at the beginning and the allies are scattered and they're weaker.
- And again, this does an absolute great job with uh supply and managing supply because that was such an important part of the Battle of the Bulge.
- But I like too combat here's a little different. you have these combat strips you pull out and you roll the dieice and you you kind of put the um dice in the appropriate places on the combat strips.
- Axis and Allies Guad Canal. Guad Canal is a great primarily navalbased game, although you are taking the islands with with infantry, what have you.
- Artillery on the islands can fire in the naval battles. It's just a lot of fun.
- I love the naval focus. Some of my favorite battles are naval battles. I love it when you're bringing in the carriers and the battleships and the cruisers and the subs and the destroyers.
- But here in the Pacific, you feel like the whole board is being used and and and potentially threatened and an avenue to victory.
- Axis and Allies Anniversary Edition is awesome.
- It's got Italy as its own player. This is the first one that introduced uh Italy as its own player. So, it's a sixplayer game.
- To me, this is the best the definitive edition certainly of kind of a global game.
- I never go back to the paper money or the regular dice again. I love such a quality life of improvement.
- If you really enjoy access and allies, you should really look into acquiring uh the the poker chips and the hit dice because they're just fantastic for any game of access and allies.

Quotes (from this video)
- Secrets. This is a Bruno Faidutti Eric Lang game. It's kind of like a social deduction game where each It has some of these nice poker chips. You're on different things, taking things. It works well. It's not great, but I think it was a solid little game.
- Tapple's one of these games that I'm always I'm It's just It still sold very well. It's mass market, but it works incredibly well.
- I just really didn't like it at all. And I like Isle of Cats. I think it's fun. I didn't I this was a great follow up.
- Wow, I love the look of this game. So many neat things you're going through and as the the the character here and just rolling dice up, it's just very lucky. It's a big choose your own adventure game that's very lucky. I wish I liked it more.
- FunkoVerse Strategy Game. Eight out of 10 for me. I really like the FunkoVerse Strategy Game.
- This is basically just giant sandworms coming and you're jumping cars and shooting them. It has all the silliness of the series of movies and I think it's it's one of those movies that could have been an IP, but but isn't.
- Manhattan Project 2. No, I thought the newest one was okay. But this one I actively disliked.
- Curse Court's a great game. I've played Curse Court I think two or three times this year already, which is a lot considering I have to I play lots of new games.
- Well, it's kind of weird. I I mean, on one hand, my favorite is Curse Court, the one I just mentioned. But, also Kids Chronicles: Quest for the Moonstones is a pretty fantastic kids game. So, I have a lot of respect for that.
