Board Game Pairings: The Nerviest Girl in the World

Kids Express


Bandits have stolen Mountain Valley’s gold and they're escaping on the train to the city and have hidden the gold nuggets in the passengers' luggage. Stage a rescue in your stagecoach and help our friend Sam get back the gold. Jump onto the train to retrieve as many items of luggage as possible without being spotted by the bandits. If they try to stop you, don't panic! Just use Sam's slingshot to take them out and send them back to their hideout. It's a great cooperative game for the family!


Moon River


Moon River is a territory-building strategy game that incorporates open drafting and tile placement mechanics. In this game, players develop a land they have inherited along a renowned river. They strategically incorporate cornfields, meadows, and forests into their ranch, identifying prime plots to optimize their precious resources and ensure their herds flourish.


Candy Matching Game


In this tactical card-collecting game, you and your fellow gunslingers aim to earn the highest score by winning and accumulating multiple treasures or rewards. Maximize your points by choosing items wisely; if you and another player choose the same item, a duel ensues. The outcome of the duel is determined by who can swiftly shoot the bottle first!


Great Western Trail


Dive into the stunning landscapes of 19th-century America as you set off on an exhilarating cattle ranching journey. Acquire valuable cattle, carefully plan your cattle drives, and transport your prized livestock to the train station in Kansas City for profit and recognition. Grow your ranching empire by shipping cattle to New York, where you will earn money and points to establish yourself as the supreme rancher.
