About the game
Hey board game fans! If you're already into the journey of Great Western Trail, get ready for an extra dash of excitement with these two promotional Station Master Tiles. Originally distributed with the French magazine Plato Magazine #95 (and also in a Dutch version), these little gems add a special touch without overcomplicating things. The idea is simple: shuffle these two new tiles with those from the base game, and during setup, choose five out of the seven available tiles to place in the Station Master spots. The leftovers go back in the box, no fuss. And what are the effects? One of them gives you a nice financial boost of 12 dollars right away, while the other offers two permanent certificates that will help you strategize. Oh, and an important detail: they don't award victory points at the end. They're more of those extras that make the game even more dynamic and interesting, without overwhelming newcomers. Perfect for adding variety to your games and maybe giving you that edge you needed to reach Kansas City triumphantly. If you're a GWT fan and enjoy adding a little extra spice to your game sessions, these tiles are a cool find to refresh the look and possibilities of your board.
