The Game
"El Paso at the end of the 19th century: five railroad companies have connected the Sun City to their network and made it a major hub for the cattle trade. Ranchers from the surrounding parts of Texas and Mexico drive their cattle into the city to send them on their long journey to the north, east, and west of the United States. Take on the role of the ranchers of that time and bring your best cattle to El Paso to earn money and victory points. Hire more cowboys, builders, and engineers to get closer to your goals." - Lookout Games

The Whisky
"A true cowboy-forward whisky with a spicy rye kick. Stampede Rye Whisky is made from the finest ingredients – glacier-fed water, Alberta-grown rye, finished in oak barrels – and inspired by the world’s greatest celebration of the West, the Calgary Stampede. True to ranch life, Stampede Whisky is a no-nonsense easy-sipper you can always depend on." - Eau Claire Distillery
