Argentina at the end of the 19th century. As the owner of a vast estancia on the endless plains of the Pampas, you regularly deliver cattle to the nearest loading ramp, transporting them by train to Buenos Aires to be shipped abroad.
The board game Great Western Trail Argentina features gameplay elements similar to the original Great Western Trail, such as deck management, a rondel mechanism, and the ability to upgrade your player board, along with new features and modifications to those elements. While money is easier to come by here, you have more to manage in terms of action options, shortcuts, and cards (including the new exhaustion cards), ensuring that the challenges do not let up.
To earn money along the way, maintain your herds well and use the buildings along the path wisely. Hire skilled workers such as gauchos to expand your herds, carpinteros to construct private buildings, and maquinistas to upgrade and repair your locomotive. Those who take good care of their herds and overcome the challenges and obstacles of the Pampas will achieve the most points and win the game.
