That really means a lot! Great to know people trust that we are straightforward and honest with our reviews :).

I love GWT it is a great game. NZ and Argentina are cool too but, I always default back to the original (now using the 2nd ed version) and its expansion. Great video and review! thanks guys!

There's something to be said for the OG!

Great video! Very informative. I really need to get GWT 2.0 off of my shelf and learn it! Once I get the hang of it, I will try the others. :)

Go for it! Don't let it just sit there!

We have GWT New Zealand and have fun with it. You're descriptions of each was helpful. I'm still not sure there's enough of a difference to purchase the other ones. Maybe I'll change my mind some day.

New Year new GWT Game.

Thanks for the great video! One question though, is any of these strictly better if we mainly play with just 2 players?

Thank you! None is particularly better or worse at two IMO, as they don't really have too much interactivity. So you'd be fine to play whichever you like the sound of best!

Hi, firstly Exellent video covering these games. Just wondering if I have never played any of them but keen to get one. which one would you recommend if intending to mainly play two player and solo?

Honestly it's all the same when it comes to player count, so I would probably recommend starting with the original GWT!

No, it's actually been something we've been planning to do for a long time! We just had a lot of reviews we owed to get through first.

Always wonder why people do not get the theme of GWT. The theme is not bringing cows or sheep from one spot to the other. It is transforming your family driven farm or ranch or whatsoever into a national or global big player in agricultural industry. That is why exporting is relevant, that is why different sorts of animals are relevant and that's the title of the game. It is a typical 19th century economy game that has the "great transformation" as topic (like clans of caledonia or the 18xx games too).

Probably because every blurb, description and back of the box says the former not the later. You're not wrong, but you are extrapolating a bit there. The descriptions state "you are a rancher and repeatedly herd your cattle"

@@BoardOfItReviews rule book first page, first paragraph: "Towards the end of the 19th century, you established yourself as a runholder (owner of a sheep station) on the South Island of New Zealand. Recent years have seen your family farm prosper by diversifying your breeds of sheep and increasing the value of your wool. With the dawn of the new century, difficult challenges have arisen. You must acquire improved and valuable breeds of sheep to ensure the prosperity of your family business and the labourers who work for you. Decide whether to focus on your past strengths or to diversify into new ventures. Will the beginning of the 20th century be as rewarding as earlier years, or will the efforts of others surpass your strategy?" It is what I said.

None of that says anything about becoming a global industry, it just says about improving your family farm and diversifying but use whatever meta you want

Wait, the title of the game is actually "Become a Global Big Player in the Agricultural Industry"?
