Great Western Game
Un juego muy divertido tanto para 1 jugador como para varios. La caja y sus compartimientos interiores son perfectos para los componentes.

GWT Second Edition latest version
GWT second Edition arrived as a Lookout Games version from 2024, the board game is in perfect condition and I would say is better in box quality, components and insert than the original plan B games, a Lot more. So happy with the purchase

Complex but worth it for longer game sessions
GWT has a lot to grasp at first. However, for gamers seeking a bit more depth out of their table sessions this is an excellent mix of tile and card type play styles, and lots of ways to reckon with what the board offers. Despite the western theme it's a Euro game, with semi-independent play and each player needing to keep an eye on what others are doing to choose early on a strategy to finally claim victory at the end. There are a number of equally valid paths to victory and the rounds are lively enough once players know the rules. It has a slightly daunting set up and take down because of all the bits but that's a good thing for a fun game, which it is.

Favorite game
Mid - heavy game, but it's really enjoyable once you understand the rules and icons.

Great Game That Cannot Be Exhaustively Analyzed
Very fun game and not hard to play. Plus it defies analysis that can make a game uninteresting after a while. After many play-throughs, we still couldn't figure out how to win for sure. Which made it fun to play again!

Great game
This is a great game, very well designed. It has a little bit of a learning curve, but it is definitely worth learning to play.

Other reviews mention bad printing, my copy looks good. 56 X 87 mm sleeves fit perfect.
I don't see any issues with quality for this game as other reviews mentioned. I went with Sleeve Kings 56 X 87 mm sleeves and they fit perfect.For the game itself it's been fun, I've played 4 times and each was about 1-1.5 hours. Mechanics include: Placing buildings to create additional actions, hiring workers to improve your buying power, Player and Train movement, deck building, multiple paths to bonus victory points. Actions are tied to buildings and player movement, the building type and location can be randomized to make it more replayable. Although there is a lot to learn upfront, none of the mechanics are overly complicated and there is good synergy between them.

Very complex - not great in solo mode
I've only played solo mode a couple times. The game is very complex with a lot of rules to digest. I think it'd be fun to play with others, but the solo mode seems kind of clunky.
