18:28The second trips along the trail bring more workers and new buildings onto the map.

Matt Lees calls it "a secret cow deck builder." That is the useful little surprise inside Shut Up & Sit Down's return to Great Western Trail: beneath the cowboys and railway tracks, improving your herd means improving the cards in your hand.

Nothing new arrived this week, but "Great Western Trials & Tribulations: SU&SD play COWS" has passed 52,000 views and carries the strongest daily momentum among the channel's older uploads. Tom Brewster and Matt play the second edition, moving along the trail, hiring workers and delivering cattle to Kansas City. Before the first turn, the rulebook is already out. Later, Matt realizes Tom has missed his starting money, a small bookkeeping rescue amid the cow-trading jokes.

The wider catalog brought in roughly 145,000 views over the week, while subscribers held steady. Daily viewing is currently above the channel's usual pace, though this was a smaller viewing week than those of its nearby tabletop, chess and poker peers. No Rolls Barred, almost identical in subscriber size, had a busier week and is also running above its usual daily viewing pace.

There are other flavors on the shelf, too. Matt's "Yotei: Making Bad Deals with Beautiful Potatoes," which he describes as one of his favorites from 2026, continues to draw viewers, as does the older Elder Scrolls tabletop preview. For now, though, the most active stop is the cattle trail, where a varied hand of cows matters as much as getting to town.
