Great Western Trail 2nd Edition New Zealand Board Game - Embark on a Unique Cattle Ranching Adventure! Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 12+, 1-4 Players, 75-150 Min Playtime Made by Eggertspiele

This is not for the beginner in board games. However, if you want a challenge that is fun, engaging, and you like spending time with friends away from screens. Then this is your game. Vibrant and varied, this game will open your mind to a range of new games that are miles away from the old familiars of monopoly, clue, etc. If you like Settlers of Catan and want more challenge than ticket to ride buy this game!! Lots of fun.

A friend has the original game and we love it so much that I wanted to get it. This version (NZ) is a great game that has several improvements from the original and enough difference to make it a fun alternative to play.It's not the easiest game to learn, but if you know the original, it's a simple teach. I would recommend the original if you've never played before, otherwise I like this one better. I prefer the cow theme of the original, but the ability to shear sheep is a welcome upgrade.

It was hard to learn because it is our only GWT game. But the game is very involving. The decision making is tough but not nerve wracking. The game board makes the play always fresh. I do want to say that once we learned the rules, every game after that has just gone along because game unfolds naturally.( WE don't need to go back and forth to check the rules). We live in NZ so are especially charmed.

Got this game for my husband for his birthday. It is so much fun! It takes us over an hour to play, but shearing and selling sheep is quite fun! It is a lot like Great Western Trail with cows. If you like that one, you will enjoy this one as well.

I like deck builders. This version adds more deck building. Just be prepared for a table hog!

Game is really good, but my box came dented in on two of the corners and it does not open and close very well. The game was put inside a large box with no padding and obviously got banged around a lot in transit.

Great strategically game with lots of indirect interactions.

The board is beautiful and fun, and the sheep are cute.You can increase the number of ways and times to earn money and place discs, and you can also receive bonus cards, so you can play more easily and enjoyably than the basics!The movement of the Automa player is also wonderful, and the three-person play with my wife and Automa player is really fun!This is the perfect board game for our family!
