As ranchers in the Wild West, players are continuously herding their cattle from Texas to Kansas City. The forks in the path of the “Great Western Trail” open up a great number of strategic options, options which increase with every new cattle drive. Workers help by building buildings, giving you the choice of even more actions. Cowboys help by buying cattle at market, which increases the breeding value of the cows in your deck. The better your hand cards are when you deliver the cows to Kansas City, the greater the returns and the more profitable further transport via rail will be. So don’t neglect the expansion of railways and stations! You can also trade with Indians. And don’t forget the objectives. This is a first-class Western with a stylishly-presented theme and masterfully-integrated game mechanics.
