This is simply a great solid game. I really enjoy it, and though I own the Rails to the North expansion, I have yet to get that specifically to the table. The theming is solid; you genuinely feel like you're cowboying up. There are many roads to victory, but you have to manage your rewards in several areas to win. The mechanics are great, you'll find set collection, rondell movement (though serpentine), and hand management /herd (deck) building elements blended together smoothly to yield one tight gameplay experience. I can't praise this one enough.
ecolemanThere are better deals to be had at OLGS...but not too much better (a couple bucks max), and the stock varies wildly at OLGSes. MM more expensive w/ flat rate, and exp OOS, same thing CSI, GN can be a better deal if you do a couple dollar filler for free ship, CH a bit more expensive than MM/CSI, so worst deal of the lot. Again, for a change, you'll save a couple bucks via DROP (this name change...ick), but you're going to wait a little while to get it. If you are going to hit free ship thresholds at the OLGS (75gn 100mm 100csi 125ch), you're going to be better off there. (edit: EXP OOS at GN, so...nm that option). If Prime, check there, because you're getting it tomorrow, both in stock, and good deal.
