Great Western Trail (2nd Edition)

When players take the first turn of the game:

• Before taking any actions they must discard down to their starting hand limit of 4 cards
• They can then place their herder on any neutral tile, whether it is occupied by another player or not

Each player turn has 3 phases that must carried out in order. The instructions for what to do are written out in icon form on the player boards. After the 3 phases are complete, the next player takes their turn

At any point during your turn, you are allowed to spend an exchange token in your possession to draw 2 cards from your draw deck and then discard two cards from your hand to your discard pile

If you have an objective card in your hand and wish to play it into your objective card area, you can play it into your objective card area at the following two times:

• Before phase A
• Before or after any action in phase B

Some things to keep in mind when playing objective cards:

• You can take the action shown on the top left corner of the card immediately
• You must score all objective cards played into your objective card area at the end of the game
• At the end of the game, you will have the option to choose to score any objective cards in your discard pile, your hand and your draw deck. For this reason, you always can remove these cards from your hand by discarding them in the usual way

• The game end is triggered when the job market token is moved from the bottom most row past the green arrow and off the game board
  • The player that does this will score 2 victory points for doing so
  • The player finishes their current turn and their game immediately is over
  • Every other player then takes one final turn
    • If, during this final turn, a player reaches Kansas City, no tiles are taken from the foresight area
• After all players have completed their final turn, final scoring commences
