Great Western Trail: The Deal

Howdy! It’s Ryan from Nights Around a Table, and this is Great Western Trail, a deck-building, worker movement game for 2-4 players. Here’s the deal. You and your friends play cattle wranglers driving your herds from Texas to Kansas City, where you’ll ship your cows off by train and cash in on their value. Along the way, you’ll face environmental obstacles, hire staff, use special buildings, and construct buildings of your own, all in the name of building a better hand of cattle cards by the time you reach the train. Throughout the game, you’ll make several runs up the trail to Kansas City, and each time, you’ll try to finish the trip with the highest-value herd possible. Each time a player ships off their cattle, this token gets pushed farther down the board. When it gets pushed off the board, the end of the game is triggered. Everyone else gets one more turn, and then you count up the points from a variety of sources to see who’s won. Well, does it sound interesting?
