America in the 19th century: you're a rancher, bringing cattle from Texas to Kansas City. This earns you money and victory points. Needless to say, every time you arrive in Kansas City, you'll want to have your most valuable livestock with you.

If you manage your herd wisely and navigate the opportunities and pitfalls of Great Western Trail, you are sure to rack up the most victory points and win the game. The second edition of Great Western Trail includes solitaire rules, making the number of players 1-4. The Games Friends: "Great Western Trail was already a wonderful game, but the beautiful new artwork makes it a real joy to play. The great thing is that you always place the buildings on the game board in a different way, so every game is different." Highly recommended!"

Paladins of the Western Kingdom is set during a turbulent time in the history of Western Franconia, around 900 AD. Despite recent attempts to develop the city, the surrounding villages are still threatened by outsiders. Saracens explore the borders, while Vikings plunder riches and livestock. Even the Byzantines from the east showed their dark side. As noble men and women, players must gather workers from the city to defend themselves against enemies, build fortifications and spread the faith across the land. Fortunately, you are not alone. In his great wisdom, the King has sent his best knights to assist in our efforts. So prepare the horses and sharpen the swords. The Paladins are approaching. The aim of the game is to be the player with the most victory points at the end of the game. You earn points by building outposts and fortifications, appointing monks and entering into confrontations with outsiders. Each round, players enlist the help of a particular Paladin and gather workers to complete tasks. As the game progresses, players will slowly increase their faith, power and influence. These not only influence their final score, but also determine the meaning of their actions. The game concludes at the end of the seventh round. The Games Friends: " Our favorite game in the West Kingdom Trilogy. There are a lot of choices, but the actions still feel logical. We think the strong element is that you cannot focus on everything in one game. This means that you can always do something different. try something else and you will be able to play Paladins for a long time. A great recommendation that will remain one of our favorite games for a while. "
