Great Western Trail: Rails to the North introduces a new rail system for players to compete on as they expand their cowherding businesses. With this expansion, players will deliver their herds to the Northeastern United States with stops in Chicago, Detroit, and New York City, among others, to become the most successful cow farmer this side of the Mississippi. Note that business is much more difficult on this track, so players will want to take advantage of the friendly hospitality by setting up branches and helping found cities. In addition to the new railway system, players will also discover new station master tiles, private buildings and an expanded player board to provide more strategic depth in their decision-making.
