Great Western Trail - New Zealand is a strategic board game that places players in the role of runholders managing their sheep farming in early 20th century New Zealand. After years of cattle ranching in the American West and the Argentine Pampas, players must now adapt their family businesses and overcome new challenges. The game features a variety of mechanics that allow players to develop their farms by purchasing valuable sheep breeds, hiring workers, and diversifying their operations. Players move their runholders along a path and perform local actions to successfully run their farms. With new elements and mechanics that set it apart from its predecessors, it offers an engaging experience for strategy enthusiasts.
