The Golden Years: Way Out West
Platform: iOS, Windows
Ah, the romance of the old west. Cowboys, cattle drives, the pony express... Also brush fires, coyotes, droughts, greedy land barons, and bandits who ransack towns and kidnap the population for ransom. It might not be as romantic as John Wayne movies would have us believe, but things were still pretty adventurous, a side of the times that Alawar chooses to represent in the time management adventure game The Golden Years: Way Out West.
Gertrude had such a lovely life, married to handsome and hardworking Samuel and raising her son Jacob. Samuel got ambitious and bought the local general store, though, and soon the family was on their way to success. Then, disaster struck in the form of a suspicious fire which burned down the store and all its stock. Deeply indebted to the evil Mr. Van Der Horn, Samuel has been thrown into jail and Gertrude must, with the aid of young Jacob, earn a fortune to pay the robber baron back and get poor Samuel sprung. Fortunately, Gertrude is pretty competent, as she works her way from Appalachia to the great plains, then to California and beyond in her quest to reunite the family.
Gameplay in The Golden Years: Way Out West is a combination of building sim and time management. Each stage has several levels with their own sets of goals. Build homes, municipal buildings, commercial buildings and the like in order to accomplish both short term and long term goals. Starting with a decrepit locomotive given to her by her friend the kindly Professor David, Gertrude moves from town to town building and mining along the way. Houses and other buildings can be constructed using wood obtained either from scattered supplies that block paths or from a sawmill (if you can afford to build one). Homes and commercial buildings can only be built within the shadow of municipal buildings, and each building covers a different series of land plots.
Accomplishing each "stage" of a level in a certain amount of time earns a gold star, and if you earn 50% or better gold stars in a level you can upgrade Gertrude's rickety locomotive into something sleeker and faster. Along with natural hazards like gullies that need to be filled in and wood and other blockages you can run into obstacles in the form of town drunks, wild animals, and of course the ruthless bandits who will demand lots and lots of gold to go away. Can you help Gertrude accomplish her goals in time to rescue poor Samuel from the pokey?
Analysis: The Golden Years: Way Out West plays like a nice combination of Build-a-lot and My Kingdom for the Princess, with lots of frantic action and story along the way. What really makes it stand out are the requirements for municipal buildings, as each covers a different number of plots and without that coverage you can't build necessary housing or commercial establishments. Trying to maneuver that coverage to your best advantage is a bit like fitting Tetris pieces together which add a nice puzzle challenge to each level.
The graphics are amusing as are the animations, although they can be a little lost on the small screen of an iPhone. Best of all are the characters that you run into in every level, from the lazy town drunks to the greedy bandits, and the helpful Native Americans. Each level has different challenges and surprises around every turn. The music is a lively and appropriate accompaniment and the voice acting is competent and helps move the story along.
There are a few minor problems in scaling down a game this size to the iPhone, so if that's the version you're going with, take note. Managing to differentiate which areas need to be highlighted takes a deft touch at first as in the smaller scale things can be a little too close together. And although the story is engaging you certainly have to put up with the somewhat un-P.C. portrayals of the First Nations characters, pretty par for the course in any western themed game.
The Golden Years: Way Out West delivers a fantastic punch of time management and puzzle gameplay. With 48 levels, each more complex than the last, you are looking at hours of fabulous casual gameplay with some pretty interesting characters. So hike up your skirts, tie down your bonnet, and get ready for some frantic fun. Westward Ho!

Train
The Train will be added to your Map after Level 8, and you will have the opportunity to upgrade the Train if you finish a level with an Expert status.
Your upgrades to the Train don't earn you anything extra, just the fun of seeing the improvements to the look of the Train.
The screenshot shows a picture of the fully-upgraded Train.

Scene Navigation
In the upper left of the screen are your resources: Money, Gold, Lumber, and Population, as well as the timer that determines your status for each level.
The upper right shows your completed goals with a check mark in the box next to the goal, and indicates what stage you are trying to complete.
The lower portion of the screen is where all your selections are made, such as buildings to build; workers to hire; buying and selling gold and lumber; upgrading and demolishing buildings.
You can also find out information about the income from a building and its population.
You can also obtain information about the building you wish to build, including the necessary resources and workers required for the job.
The Town Hall shows you the number of workers you have available, and you can hire additional workers when needed.
As shown in the screenshot, you will sometimes have obstacles to overcome, such as road blocks and repairs, plus more complicated situations later on.
Building sites will have a line through them when you need to build a Municipal building nearby.
In the screenshot, the building site on the right of Town Hall needs a Water Tower before your Covered Wagons will begin paying rent.
You will meet up with many other characters during your journey, other than Gertrude and her son Jacob, and will be required to interact with them.
You will also encounter bears, wolves, dogs, coyotes, and horses and find out how you need to deal with them in the scenes where they appear.

Buildings
There are 4 categories of Buildings: Municipal, Industrial, Commercial, and Residential.
Town Hall, which is already established in each level, pays rent and is where you can hire workers.
Not all buildings will be available immediately but will be added along your journey.
Municipal buildings: Water Tower, Sheriff's Office, and Church.
A Water Tower is necessary in order to build Commercial and Residential buildings.
Industrial buildings: Sawmill, Advanced Sawmill, and Trading Post.
The Sawmill and Advanced Sawmill produce your lumber automatically, but you can also purchase addition lumber that you need.
You buy and sell at the Trading Post.
Commercial buildings: General Store, Saloon, and Bank.
Each of these buildings will pay you gold.
The amount of gold you earn for the General Store and Saloon depends upon the population they serve.
The Bank pays you 10%, so the amount of gold it pays is dependent on how much money you have.
Residential buildings: Covered Wagons, House, Ranch, Inn, Hotel, and Estate.
Residential properties pay rent and can be upgraded to receive more rent, but they also occasionally require repairs you will need to pay for.
When we discuss a building being built in a certain row in a scene, the counting begins from the top down.
Resources
Money is basically earned from rent and from selling materials at the Trading Post.
Gold can be mined, earned profit from your Commercial buildings, or purchased from the Trading Post.
Lumber can be gathered from the roadways or after demolition of a building, and purchased from the Trading Post or Sawmill.
Your population is increased by building and upgrading Residential properties.
