Opis
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.
This is an excellent game with elements of deck building and engine building. The players are entrepreneurs in the wild west collecting and selling cattle, developing railway and building buildings. Improving your business along these 3 major lines will give you points at the end of the game but there are also some other ways to gather points, e.g. objective cards. There are multiple paths to victory that can highly depend on what other players are working towards. This is a fast paced euro with not a lot of downtime and some interaction among players, but not a lot. You have to think a lot but pulling off nice moves can be really satisfying, especially if you can chain together a set of moves with your previously built buildings. The deck building part sometimes feels annoying (you are just not getting the cow you'd really want) but there are ways to mitigate the luck of the draw. The theme comes through nicely. As you move with your cowboy figure towards Kansas city trading cows on the way, hiring new people and expanding your railway, you can really feel the western atmosphere. I highly recommend this game if you like strategic-economic games where you have to find the optimal move to perform better than your opponents.
