Great Western Trail: Second Edition
Description
This thoroughly revamped edition of the cowboy strategy game Great Western Trail features brand-new artwork, game components previously included in expansions, and perfectly balanced rules.
At the end of the 19th century, the demand for beef surged across the United States. Getting cattle herds from the Texas plains to the markets was no easy task. Since Texas lacked a railway, you had to drive your herds north to Kansas City and then transport them by train to San Francisco.
As a rancher, you regularly drive your herds from Texas to Kansas City to load them onto trains. Keep your herd in top condition and make clever use of the buildings along the trail. Hire skilled hands—cowboys to expand your herd, craftsmen to build your structures, and engineers to help with the railway.
The player who manages their herd best, seizes opportunities wisely, and avoids the dangers of the trail will earn the most points and claim victory.

A really solid euro game. The second edition balanced a few things out, so in my opinion, the game is now truly balanced and you can win using various strategies. It plays smoothly, giving you a few decisions each turn on where to stop and how to manage the cows in your hand.
It's basically a race where knowing how to pace yourself and move as efficiently as possible is key. I'm not giving it a perfect score only because the expansion takes it to the next level. Still, it's a great game that only suffers slightly from a somewhat cluttered main board.
Velmi fajn euro, druhá edice dobalancovala pár věcí, a tak je teď hra podle mě opravdu vyrovnaná a dá se vyhrát s různými strategiemi. Hraje se příjemně, kdy ve svém tahu máte pár rozhodnutí, kde se zastavit a jak pracovat s krávami v ruce.
Je to v podstatě takový závod, kde je důležité umět dávkovat dobře tempo a pohybovat se co nejefektivněji, nehodnotím za max jen díky tomu, že rozšíření to posune ještě o stupínek výš. Ale za mě skvělá hra, která trpí jen trochu menší nepřehledností základní desky.
