The 19th Century has arrived and America is expanding west. Wagon trains filled with settlers seeking new lives and opportunities strike out to tame the wild land of the west. |
New cities pop up like mushrooms. Due to the distances between them, these new cities quickly come to rely on new railroads for the transport of vital goods. Trails become rails and create great wealth. |
Some head west for the adventure, some to start a new life, still others to find work. As the population grows, resources will dwindle, and the smart money seeks new sources and new markets. |

Product description
Product Description
The 19th Century has arrived and America is heading west. Wagon trains form on the frontier. Settlers seeking fresh lives and opportunities strike out to tame wild lands and build new cities. These new cities rely on young railroads for vital goods. Trails become rails and create great wealth. While the crowded East still offers options, its resources dwindle. Look west to make your fortune. Smart money seeks rich, unclaimed land and hungry new markets. Finance your settlers as they head west to build capitals of tomorrow. Link these cities with rails of steel. Operate your railroad to supply the townsfolk with goods. Go west. Settle the wide, open land. Claim your destiny. Settlers of America, Trails to Rails utilizes the simple, fun Catan hex-tile grid to map the young United States. Collect and trade resources in order to purchase and move settlers, build cities, lay rails and acquire and move trains. Create rail links to acquire gold, which lets you buy resources and use opponents' rails. Use trains to distribute goods to rival cities. But, as your settlers populate the West, they deplete the resources of the East. Still, your options always abound.

I think the board pieces could be designed better. We were constantly adjusting them on the board. Train tracks were too big, the houses should have had a cubby for cargo or something like that. The cargo pieces are so tiny!
It also takes too long. There aren't enough rules involved to make it worth playing for 3-5 hours TBH.
There is decent replay value but not nearly as much as the original Catan.
My only two complains with this game are length and the size of the rails. I have no idea why the rail pieces are oversized to the extent they are; it clutters the board. However, this is a minor complaint. Likewise, the game can take a long time but you can also set a limit for the settlement/packages required if you want a shorter or longer game.
I was apprehensive during the first few games because of the new rules (like I said, this is not Catan). It's intimidating, but after a couple of playthroughs I think this can be even more enjoyable than normal Settlers. You end up with a lot more flexibility in your strategies (going west versus snagging the starting package locations), you end up with more flexibility in resources (two gold for any resource means you can build stuff almost any turn), and the game stays close throughout most of it. One issue with Catan is that you can go turns without doing anything and get disengaged from the game, or be so far behind that it becomes boring. This one keeps everyone in the game until the very end when a few people start pulling ahead. The development cards are also way better and do a variety of things.
Overall I would say that this game is a lot less predictable than SoC. Don't go into it expecting the same game, because it isn't. But if you keep an open mind it's a LOT of fun.
- Place more settlements at the beginning of the game, so you're less likely to be prevented from getting a vital resource.
- Larger game board, so you probably won't find yourself trapped and cut off in a small area between two opponents like the original Catan.
- More challenging in terms of strategy since you have to build both settlements and rail, and some of your early settlements stop producing as the West is settled.
Cons:
- LOTS of rules that can take awhile to fully understand (we had to re-read them several times throughout the game which slowed play).
- It seemed that once one player built a lead, it was very difficult to find ways to slow him/her down.
- Can't expand to 5 or 6 players.

Takes a little longer to complete but a great game. No longest road (rail), or largest army points. Everyone has to stay focused on shipping out their supplies. Fun, not complicated.
