Great Western Trail: Second Edition

It's the 19th century, and you're a cattle rancher driving your herd from Texas to Kansas City. Each trip, you'll earn money and victory points by delivering your most valuable cattle by train. But the Great Western Trail isn't just about herding—it's about smart planning. Along the way, you'll use buildings to improve your hand, hire cowboys to boost your herd, craftsmen to construct your own buildings, and engineers to push the railroad forward. Balance your herd's health, navigate opportunities and pitfalls, and outmaneuver other ranchers to claim the most victory points.

This Second Edition brings fresh life to the prairie. The game features brand-new artwork by Chris Quilliams, dual-layered player boards for easier play, and a solo mode with a unique AI opponent. You'll also find a new breed of cows—the Simmental—plus two reversible buildings (#11 and #12) and twelve Exchange Tokens from the Rails to the North expansion, adding more player interaction. Four new Master Tiles increase strategy and replayability. Whether you're a seasoned trail boss or a rookie wrangler, this edition is ready for 1 to 4 players. Remember the old days in the West? The times, they are a-changin'—and you won't know where to start. Saddle up!
