Great Western Trail

Great Western Trail is a standalone strategy board game that turns a 19th-century cattle drive into a deep ranching and rail network challenge.

Players take on the role of ranchers driving valuable cattle to Kansas City, then shipping them onward by train to earn money and victory points. Each trip along the trail pushes players to improve their herds, manage timing, and build a stronger engine for future deliveries. The Second Edition updates Alexander Pfister’s strategy game with refreshed components and features for a sharper journey across the American frontier. Designed for 1–4 players, ages 12 and up, it plays in about 2 hours. Available now at Boarding School Games—Drive your herd west.
