Great Western Trail is the critically acclaimed game of cattle ranching by Alexander Pfister. Players attempt to wrangle their herd across the Midwest prairie and deliver it to Kansas City. But beware! Other cowboys are sharing the trail with you. We invite you to saddle up!
Drive a valuable herd across nineteenth-century America in Great Western Trail Second Edition. As rival ranchers, players repeatedly follow the trail towards Kansas City, improving the cattle in hand and preparing deliveries that can generate money, railway progress and victory points. Every trip changes the opportunities waiting along the route.
Cowboys help acquire better cattle, builders establish useful locations and engineers advance the train towards more distant cities. Hand management, deck building, set collection and route planning intertwine, making the order of actions as important as the long-term strategy. Hazards, outlaws and buildings influence movement, while other ranchers share the same trail and compete for workers and opportunities.
This edition adds a dedicated solo opponent, double layered player boards and the Simmental cattle breed. Exchange tokens increase interaction, additional reversible buildings broaden route development and refreshed artwork gives the trail a new presentation. With variable setup and many avenues for scoring, each journey rewards careful adaptation over approximately seventy-five to one hundred and fifty minutes.
