I’ve been playing this with my wife and it’s been close scores every time. Initially, it did take us a while to learn everything and we did get a couple of the rules wrong but we had a lot of fun. I can see why this one is rated so high on boardgamegeek. The components are well made especially the dual layer boards. We like the Western theme and it truly does feel like you're a cowboy herding cattle to Kansas City. Highly recommend!
