New Zealand at the end of the 19th century. As the owner of a vast number of sheep, you have decided to expand your business by acquiring new breeds and increasing the value of your wool...
The board game Great Western Trail: New Zealand features similar gameplay elements to the original Great Western Trail, such as deck management, a rondel mechanism, and the ability to upgrade player boards, along with new features and modifications to those elements—though money is easier to obtain here. However, you have more to manage in terms of action options, shortcuts, and cards (including new exhaustion cards), so the challenges remain just as demanding.
To earn money during your journey, maintain your flocks well and use the buildings along the path wisely. Hire skilled workers—such as shepherds to expand your flocks, artisans to build private structures, and sailors to upgrade and repair your vessel. Those who take good care of their flocks and master the challenges and obstacles will achieve the highest points and win the game.
