Description

In Great Western Trail: New Zealand, you take on the role of a runholder, managing a sheep station on the South Island of New Zealand in the late 19th century. Your family farm has thrived by diversifying sheep breeds and increasing wool value, but new challenges arise with the dawn of the new century. To ensure prosperity, you must acquire improved breeds of sheep, balancing the needs of your family business and laborers. As you navigate the complexities of sheep station management, you'll engage in deck, bag, and pool building, hand management, and set collection. With 75 to 150 minutes of playtime, you'll have ample opportunity to develop your strategy, whether playing solo or with up to three friends. With its intricate gameplay and economic themes, Great Western Trail: New Zealand offers a compelling experience for fans of animal and economic games, designed by renowned game designer Alexander Pfister.
