In Great Western trail you play a rancher taking your herd of cows from Texas to Kansas City to ship them out by Train to big cities.
At the end of the game, once enough cows have reached Kansas City, the player with the most points will win the game.
The game is very different each time you play it, and it’s great. It also means that you should study the map, the hazards, the job market, and your hand of cows before you decide which strategy might work best for you.
Buy Great Western Trail (1st Edition) on Amazon: amzn.to/3P0KTE8
Tabletop games are really fun, but learning the complicated directions and rules can be a challenge. Lavinia and Peter explain the rules quickly and easily so you get to play faster while giving you all the tips you need to get better.

I absolutely love the way you present these videos, a joy to watch and absorb. You have expalined a relatively complex game's rules in such a concise and simple way, pure magic. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your comment, it's very kind. Always trying to find that right spot of how much to share and when to share it so it makes sense. Enjoy Great Western Trail :) I have the 2nd Ed and I like it very much.
Excellent video, thank you. Very clear, engaging, well paced and very clear close-ups of the game components.
Thank you very much for the comment, I'm glad it was useful. I love this game :)
Outstanding breakdown. Thank you so much! I am much more comfortable with the mechanics of the game now.
I’m so glad because it’s a great game. Once you are comfortable, have a look at the expansion, it’s awesome.
REALLY well explained, thankyou very much, one of the best explained vids i've seen
Thank you so much, it's very kind. Enjoy the game :)
Great and concise explanation. Thank you. Appreciate greatly your work. Keep it up
Thank you so much, it's very kind. I recommend the expansion, Rails to the North. It's a lot of fun :)
Great video. Your videos have really good production.
Thank you so much, learning along the way :) Enjoy the game!
Really like how you explain things!
Thank you so much for your comment, it’s very kind. Enjoy the game :)
This game is beautiful .....BUt complex...very complex
It is, I recently played the 2nd edition and I really enjoyed it.
Complex and very rewarding when you get the hang of it! :)
Great explanation! Thank you.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you liked it. I hope you enjoy Great Western Trail.
I just bought a copy of this in a charity shop this morning - it was the German edition so rulebook not in English. This video was perfectly timed, thank you!
Oh wow! That's cool. I'm glad it will be very useful. Enjoy the game :)
I saw the box of Star Wars Rebellion in the background, can you make a video on that? Also love how great the quality of your videos has been, even when your channel first started
Yes, definitely I want to do a video on Star Wars Rebellion. Thank you so much for your comment, it's very kind.
Game Clarifications:
You may go as many times as you want to Kansas and San Francisco. You may only go once to all the other cities. Other players may go to the same city as you.
-Thank you Greg
Awesome explanation, tks :D
Thank you so much, it's very kind. Enjoy the game and if you get the chance to play it with the expansion, I definitely recommend.
This is great! Will you be showing some spooky games this month like Mysterium or Mansion of madness?
Thank you!! I love GWT! Not this year! But have a look at our betrayal video for a spooky game :)
This video is brilliant. Can i ask; Where did you get the player mat sleeves?
Thank you so much! I think I got them on Etsy. They are very cool but need to be careful when installing them.
20:33 I don't think the city has to be empty; it may have another player's disc; you can not deliver to the same city with the exception of Kansas and San Francisco
Hello! I am sorry I haven't replied, it's been a crazy week. Thank you so much for flagging this. It's incredible, because I play it correctly and I've explained it so poorly :) I am going to pin a comment and explain it. Thank you again, I really appreciate it.
@@GamesMadeEasy I enjoy your videos; thank you for your time in making these quality videos.
Thank you so much. It’s a pleasure to make the videos and spread the joy of board games :)
Hi, liked the explanation like always, the game not so much, not for me ! But thank you and keep bringing us new games ! :) How many times you played twilight imperium ? I only played a full one, in some friends house and took us 2 nights... liked it but won't buy it...: )
Thank you! If you haven't played it with the expansion and get the opportunity, you should try it. TI I play around 5 times a year, it's a whole day thing...I recently played with Prophecy of Kings, and it was great!
