Great Western Trail: Argentina [Board Game]

Saddle up, optimize your trail, and conquer the Pampas in this epic evolution of a modern classic!

Embark on an unforgettable cattle-ranching adventure with Great Western Trail: Argentina, a standalone strategy board game from Eggert Spiele, designed by Alexander Pfister. Set in the vast plains of the Pampas at the end of the 19th century, you take on the role of an Argentine estanciero (rancher), tasked with driving your herd from your sprawling estancia to the bustling train station in Buenos Aires. From there, ship your cattle to Europe and secure your legacy as the most successful rancher of the era!

This game builds on the beloved mechanics of the original Great Western Trail, blending deck management, rondel movement, and player board upgrades with exciting new twists. Introduce farmers—a new worker type—to your strategy, and navigate a dynamic game board offering multiple paths: will you take the route lined with buildings or forge alliances with farmers along the way? Use your cattle cards’ strength to win over farmers, adding grain—a valuable new resource—to your arsenal. Grain opens doors to powerful boat and city tile bonuses, enhancing your efficiency and scoring potential.

With deep strategic depth, Great Western Trail: Argentina challenges you to balance herd management, worker placement, and resource production. New exhaustion cards add a layer of risk to your deck, while an updated train system keeps the competition fierce. Whether you’re constructing buildings, hiring workers, or racing to secure the best shipping routes, every decision shapes your path to victory.

Perfect for 1-4 players ages 12 and up, this game offers 75-150 minutes of immersive gameplay. Solo players can test their skills against Pedro in an engaging solitaire mode, while multiplayer sessions promise high replayability with varied strategies and outcomes.
