Great Western Trail: Argentina

On your turn, carry out PHASE A, PHASE B, and PHASE C in this order

Move your Herder at least 1 step forward on the Trail, up to your Step Limit

Skip over any empty spaces when moving

Multiple Herders can stop on the same space

If you pass over any hands on Farmer Tiles, pay the amount indicated on your Player Board to the space next to the Farmer Tile; if hands are on another player's Building, pay that amount to that player instead (pay what you can if you don't have enough)

You may use a shortcut along the Trail to go directly to Buenos Aires if your Engine has reached or moved beyond that corresponding space on the Railroad Track

If you reach Buenos Aires, immediately end this Phase

Use the Action(s) of your reached Location (actions can be performed in any order and are always optional)

On a Neutral Building or your own Buildings you may either use the Tile's Action(s) (and Risk Actions) in any order, or 1 single Auxiliary Action

On another player's Building you may only use 1 single Auxiliary Action

On a Farmer Tile you may either HELP THAT FARMER, or 1 single Auxiliary Action

On Buenos Aires carry out the following 6 steps then return your Rancher to the start of the Trail

If you have at least 1 Disc on a Quay, you may choose to carry out 1 extra delivery to an empty space in the City belonging to that Quay; each of the 4 quarters in a City indicate the amount of Grain required to deliver there (both Quay Tiles provide a discount to that cost); pay the cost, move the Disc down to that empty space and gain any bonuses

Reveal your hand, sum the values of each DIFFERENT TYPE of Cattle Card; you may add to this Breeding Value with Permanent Certificates from Station Master Tiles and/or by spending temporary Certificates; gain this amount in $, return any Exhaustion Cards from your hand to the Exhaustion deck, then discard the rest of your hand

Move 1 of your Discs from your Player Board onto a Ship with a value equal to or lower than your Breeding Value, then pay the amount of Grain indicated (reduce this amount with any permanent Grain from Station Master Tiles); for each Grain you can't pay you must pay $2; gain any immediate bonuses indicated on the Ship Tile

Each player may deliver to each Ship only once, with the exception of the '0' and '18' Ships which may be delivered to any number of times

White Discs can be placed on any colour Ship/Train Station/Quay space

Black Discs can only be placed on Black Ship/Train Station/Quay spaces, unless you've no White Discs left on your Player Board

Removing your black Disc from your Strength increase area gains you $3

The Disc removed from your lowest right Auxiliary space requires you to first pay $3

If you need to place a Disc but can't, remove 1 of your Discs from a Train Station of your choice

Choose 1 of the 2 Tiles in each column in the Foresight spaces, and move it to its corresponding section; Farmers must be placed on their coloured space on the Game Board as in SETUP; Workers must always be placed on the row with the Job Market Token

If you place a Worker in the space with the Job Market Token, move it down a row

If the Job Market Token passes a yellow arrow, refill the Cattle Market as in SETUP

If the Job Market Token passes a blue arrow, the corresponding coloured Ships depart; all player Discs on these Ships are placed in their respective Quays; discard the Ships, then draw 2 new Ships and add them to the Loading Zone

If the Job Market Token moves off the bottom of the Game Board this triggers the end of the game; you collect it, each other player gets 1 final Turn, then perform FINAL SCORING

OBJECTIVE CARDS are chosen from either the faceup display (then reset it) or the top of the deck, and are placed into your discard pile

Objective Cards in your hand may be played into your player area either before PHASE A, or before or after you perform an Action in PHASE B; when you do so you may perform the Immediate Action in its upper-left corner

During FINAL SCORING you may score an Objective Card regardless of whether or not you played it into your player area during the game; however, Objective Cards that were played into your player area occur the depicted penalty if they are not fulfilled

Each single fulfilled Task can only count towards 1 Task on each Objective Card

When moving your Engine, if you stop in a Turnout space, you may immediately UPGRADE THE TRAIN STATION there by paying the cost and placing 1 of your Discs (each player may upgrade each Train Station one time only); you may then (and only then) remove 1 Worker Tile from any rightmost space on a row on your Player Board and put it in place of the Station Master Tile (if it is still available) to acquire it; gain its immediate bonus depicted on the top of the Tile, and keep it to use the bottom of the Tile for FINAL SCORING

On the last space of the Railroad Track your movement ends; you may then upgrade the Train Station as usual; you must then move your Engine back to the Train Depot

You may deliver Discs to the final space of the Railroad Track multiple times

An Engine in the Train Depot cannot move backwards

When performing this Action, choose 1 Worker Tile from the Job Market (you cannot hire any Workers from the row with the Job Market Token), pay that Worker's hiring cost, applying any modifications (if applicable) on the Action icon

If the Tile has a Strength icon then pay $1 more

Place the Tile on the left-most available space on your Player Board; if it covers an Action you may perform it immediately or forfeit it

Gain $5 and upgrade 1 Station behind your Engine (If you are on the Train Depot, upgrade any Train Station behind space 24)

If you land on a Farmer you may choose to HELP that particular Farmer, otherwise this Action refers to any Farmer of your choice on the Game Board

Each Farmer has a required Strength indicated on the bottom-right of its Tile; determine your Strength by adding the Strength icons on your Player Board (you begin with a Strength of 0)

Removing the White Disc from your Strength area adds 1 Strength, removing the black adds 2, and each Worker Tile you've hired with a Strength icon adds 1; you may also reveal up to 4 Cattle Cards from your hand and add the Strength to the total

Revealing Cattle Cards requires you to also gain the following number of Exhaustion Cards to your discard pile: 1/2 Cattle Cards: gain 1 Exhaustion Card | 3/4 Cattle Cards: gain 2 Exhaustion Cards

If your total Strength is equal to or higher than the Farmer's, gain its Tile and receive any $ placed next to the Tile and any amount indicated below the Tile on the Game Board

You may either: place the Farmer next to your Player Board to count towards Objective Cards and score 2 VP during FINAL SCORING; or add it to your Player Board as a Worker: you must pay the cost, then flip it to its brown side on the left-most available space on your Player Board; you may then immediately perform the covered Action or forfeit it

Place 1 Disc on Quay 1 in Rotterdam or Place 1 Disc on Quay 1 in Liverpool

When performing this Action you acquire new available Cattle Cards by spending the indicated amount of $ depending on the number of Herders you have on your Player Board

Newly acquired Cattle Cards are placed on your discard pile; each Herder may only be used once during this Action

You may instead use 1 Herder to add 2 Cattle Cards to the Cattle Market display from the Market deck

Choose 1 of your unplaced Buildings and either place it onto any empty Building space on the Game Board, or replace 1 of your already placed Buildings

Each of your Buildings has a cost in minimum number of Carpenters required on your Player Board to place it; pay the indicated $ amount on the Action icon for each Carpenter used

When replacing an already placed Building, deduct the cost of the replaced Building from the newly placed 1 and pay only the difference; this allows you to place a Building using more Carpenters than you have available; then trash the removed Building from the game
