Episode 87: Pfister Face-Off:  Great Western Trail vs Maracaibo

Two heavy euros enter: Great Western Trail and Maracaibo. We compare route optimization and deck refinement against exploration and campaign progression. Only one can claim the Pfister crown.

It’s cowboys versus captains in a cardboard clash for bragging rights. We argue over cows, ships, buildings, and bonus tiles like our reputations depend on it. By the end, someone walks the plank—or rides off into the Kansas City sunset.
