Episode 61 - Great Western Trail

Howdy! Today, we cover a game that, fittingly, Brendan and I have both had our own long and winding journeys with. And wouldn't you know it, it appears we hit a fork in the road and ended up in very different places. Great Western Trail is designer Alexander Pfister's biggest hit. It's a rondel building and traversing cowboy management game that currently sits at number 12 on Board Game Geek's list of greatest games of all time. As always, we shoot straight with our honest opinions, so saddle up because we ride into the decision space at dawn. Yeehaw!

Games Discussed

Great Western Trail, Praga Caput Regni, Castles of Burgundy, and more.
