Yeehaw!

Combining several unique elements from different games, such as deck and engine building, Great Western Trail comes together as a unique experience that scratches the Western itch. While it's not the easiest game to learn, everything comes together after a few rounds, though it might be a bit much for someone new to board games. It invovles more strategy than tactics, and there is enough variation to keep things interesting. If you love board games and want some Western vibes, this is worthy of your shelf space.

OVERVIEW

America in the 19th century: You are a rancher and repeatedly herd your cattle from Texas to Kansas City, where you send them off by train. This earns you money and victory points. Needless to say, each time you arrive in Kansas City, you want to have your most valuable cattle in tow. However, the "Great Western Trail" not only requires that you keep your herd in good shape, but also that you wisely use the various buildings along the trail. Also, it might be a good idea to hire capable staff: cowboys to improve your herd, craftsmen to build your very own buildings, or engineers for the important railroad line.

If you cleverly manage your herd and navigate the opportunities and pitfalls of Great Western Trail, you surely will gain the most victory points and win the game.

The second edition includes solitaire rules, making for a player count of 1-4.

 1-4 PLAYERS  |  75-150 MINS  |  AGES 12+
