    Came to this vid because I'm from Kansas and heard there was a game about take cows there. My hometown is worth negative points. Forget House on a Haunted Hill, this is real board game Betrayal.

      @@shortydancer the American Royal is on the Missouri side, but it’s very close to the border.
      The first edition of this game makes no sense based on history (makes no sense to drive cattle to KC and then send them via train to Topeka, Wichita, and ultimately out West to California). The 2nd edition fixes this, as the trains go east instead of west.

    What amazes me is that it took someone from the UK to convince me to buy a game about herding cattle from Texas to Kansas City... and I live in Dallas Texas.
    Oh...and you were right about the game...it's great. One of the best implementations of theme in a primarily Euro style of game.

    GWT is one of hubby & I's favorite games. It's fantastic, especially when the scores are only a couple points difference. Every point matters, every choice of stops matters. Our last game in my final move I was only 1 stop away from reaching Kansas City and making an extra delivery. Love this game! Highly recommend it!

    I was having lunch with my girlfriend once at the Fantasy Flight Games Center and the manager was out sitting at one of the tables near us and he seemed liked he was doing paperwork and going through and looking at some game stuff and this one customer just walked up to him and asked him question after question about the game center and how things are running and other gaming stuff. This went on almost the whole time we ate lunch and I thought he would kind of get annoyed because he seemed very busy but he just calmly chatted with the guy and answered his questions and was in no way rude or acted agitated or annoyed at all. I respect him for focusing on the customer and trying make sure the customer was having a good time. Its a good place to go to and the food is pretty good.
