What is Great Western Trail: Second Edition
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 of Great Western Trail includes solitaire rules, making for a player count of 1-4.

Gabi Natalia su primera partida
Gozada de juego. Edición de fábula y su complemento con la expansión lo convierte en una obra maestra. Y un pero: si se preveía sacar la expansión en breve, ¿no les habría costado sobredimensionar un pelín la caja base para que los elementos de la expansión cupiesen en ella sin tener que tirar el bonito inserto?.
Mi calificación inicial, dentro de su categoría es Un 7. Aunque solo lo probé una vez, el juego aún no hizo click conmigo ni con mi hijo. Debemos darle al menos unas 2 partidas más para tener un buen criterio. La explicación del juego es bastante compleja para lo que haces en el juego. Es un juego que dura mucho. En esta primera partida no me sentí haciendo muchas cosas.
I liked it but it takes too many time to setup for what i got from it. In a noob level, the cows strategy is too overpowered. As I heard, in the expert level people try to trigger the end-game quick so players trying to develop something else can't reach their early score...
