Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 8 out of 10

    Gonna start with an 8 on this after one play. It is quite a game. Rather difficult to teach. Great depth and choices. The mechanics all fit, but I just can't help but think that the game could do with a few less to make it a bit less complex and shave some time off. Some probably like that it is so crunchy, and I do too, but it could be just as good of a game at 45 minutes less with a couple fewer options.

  2. 6 out of 10

    The second edition is a strict improvement on this version. Still a quality game, but my desire to play it has dipped significantly knowing the second edition is out there and better.

  3. 9 out of 10

    complex, but more in the tactics than the rules, will take time to learn, been playing more, and getting better now we understand all the rules and tactics

Description from the publisher:

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.
