Pampero is a hand management, card driven action selection game. Every player has a identical starting hand of 8 cards, to be played on an action board on their tableau, which contains two rows of spaces to activate actions on the different sectors of the board. On your turn you will have the option to play one card to the leftmost empty space of any row, pay the cost for that space (depending which zone on the board the action will take place - A, B, or C), and take the action. After three turns, all players return only the rightmost card from one of the two rows back into their hand. Players also collect income.

Actions become less expensive as cards fill your action board. Eventually, you will run low on cards and need to take a turn to retrieve all cards from your tableau and move your turn marker to the next space.

Knowing when and where to play cards, and when to retrieve them all to your hand is a crucial skill for success.

The Nature expansion offers new ways to play. The installation of wind farms can have an impact on the natural habitat of the surrounding fauna and flora. The government has programs that reward the protection of this habitat.  

A new action lets players score points for nature reserves near their transformers.

To play the new Nature Action Card, you must:
• have a wind farm of your color in the sector you'll take the action
• have a transformer in a remote location in that sector
• play a card with the Nature icon matching the wind farm and transformer
• pay the cost of the space on the Action Board, as normal

You then take a Nature Token from the supply and place it on the game board by the transformer mentioned above. 

If this is the first Nature Token you're placing, take the Nature Income Marker in your color and place it on the $1 Remote Income track space of your PG&I board. If that space is occupied, place it in the $2 space.  If the Nature Income Marker is already on the PG&I board, move it up one space. 

Next, you may pay 2 energy or 1 battery to move the Nature Income Marker up 2 spaces. 

If the Nature Income Marker or Remote Income Marker ever land on an occupied space, they instead move to the next space.

Score the Nature Income Marker during Consolidation as per the normal income rules.

Additional Nature Specialist Cards and Build Wind Farm Token add even more play variability.

The Clear Skies expansion is a collection of stretch goals from the Pampero Kickstarter. Included are additional components that can be used with the existing base game rules, as well as three new game concepts:

  • Private Industries
  • Investor Tendencies
  • Companies
