About this game
Drive your cattle herd from Texas to Kansas City, building your deck and upgrading your cowboys along the way. The board evolves as other players block paths, force detours, and compete for the same buildings. A masterclass in point-to-point movement married to deck building — uniquely American in theme and deeply satisfying.
