Great Western Trail Review: If I Was a Cowboy...
74The purpose of this review is to discuss why Great Western Trail is an absolute belter of a game and if you should get the recently released 2nd edition or stick with the first.
GWT is for 2-4 players (or 1-4 in the 2nd edition). In GWT you'll become a cattle rancher herding their cattle to market in Kansas City time and time again with the goal of arriving with a variety of diverse and prestigious cattle as represented by cards. With a core of hand/deck management multiple strategic paths to explore, the gameplay here is solid.
