Great Western Trail: Rails to the North

Players expand into a new rail network that opens delivery routes to northeastern cities such as Chicago, Detroit and New York, changing where and how herds are transported. The game adds a distinct railway system with tougher business conditions, encouraging the placement of branchlets and town development to ease operations. New station master tiles, private buildings, and an expanded player board introduce additional strategic options for route planning, deliveries, and tableau management.

    Adds more replayability and paths to the victory. Too expensive -> PNP
