Navajo Wars
Description
Navajo Wars is a wargame where you take on the role of the Diné (Navajo) people. The game spans from the Spanish invasion in 1595 to the subjugation of the Navajo by the U.S. Army under Kit Carson in 1864. You can play Navajo Wars as individual scenarios covering the Spanish, Mexican, and American periods, or play through all three eras as a single campaign.
"Diné" (pronounced "dih-nay") is the Navajo word for their tribe, meaning "the people." The term "Navajo" was adopted by the Spanish from the Tewa (a Pueblo tribe) and means "planted fields." The Diné have always been known for growing corn in the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona.
The game is in English.

My impressions are overwhelmingly positive. First of all, the theme really grabbed me. The designer did an amazing job, and the game truly reflects the life and struggle for survival of Native Americans on the prairies of New Mexico and Arizona.
The AI is brilliantly designed; you can never be sure what the game has in store for you, whether it's drawing a card or the unique action-token management mechanism. As a player, I can see what might happen—a Comanche or Spanish raid, followed by an operation to subjugate the people. But a fateful roll of two dice can change everything. That’s where the magic of surprise lies.
You’re constantly thinking about how to handle emerging and upcoming situations and events—enemy raids, the spread of settlements. At the same time, your people need food, so you have to farm or raid. To control the entire territory, you also need new families and elders to arrive, cultural development, and so on.
I recommend it to everyone; it's a fantastic solitaire token-based game with GMT deluxe component quality.
Moje dojmy sú jednoznačne pozitívne. V prvom rade ma hra zaujala svojou témou. Autorovi sa podarila úžasná vec a hra ozaj odzrkadľuje život a boj o prežitie indiánov na prériách Nového Mexika a Arizony.
Výborne je vyriešená AI, nikdy si nemôžete byť istý čo na vás hra pripraví či už pri ťahaní karty, alebo pri unikátnom mechanizme riadenia hry žetónmi akcií. Ako hráč vidím, čo môže prísť – nájazd Komančov, Španielov a v zápätí operácia podrobenia si ľudu. Lenže osudový hod dvoma kockami môže všetko zmeniť. V tom spočíva čaro prekvapenia.
Hráč neustále premýšľa ako riešiť vzniknuté a nadchádzajúce situácie a udalosti - nájazd nepriateľov, šírenie základní. Pritom indiáni potrebujú obživu, treba pestovať alebo plieniť. Na ovládnutie celého územia je tiež potrebný príchod novej rodiny a ďalších starších, kultúrny rozvoj, atď.
Doporučujem každému, skvelá solitaire žetonková hra, GMT deluxe kvalita komponentov.
