After five years of teaching English, Goode traded in his books and blackboard for a saddle and spurs.. working at dude ranches and hunting camps all throughout the western U-S.
It was during a game of Trivial Pursuit one night that he got an idea for his own board game based on facts about the Old West.

[OUT Q=and answers.]

And so was born "Gunfighters and Trailblazers".. a game filled with 22- hundred bits of trivia about cowboys, Indians and folklore of the Old West.
It's not exactly a true board game.. players instead make their way across what looks like a rolled up map.
[SOT 00:12:54]
((GOODE: I CHOSE THIS BECAUSE I WANTED IT TO LOOK LIKE AN OLD MAP, WESTERN MAP, DONE ON RAWHIDE, DRAWN ON RAWHIDE.)) [RUNS07]

Players pick a route they want to travel: the Oregon Trail, the stagecoach route or a cattle drive, and then answer questions about anything from saloons to immigrants.
The game's been a good seller at tourist ranches and museum gift shops out west.
[SOT 00:15:10]
((GOODE: IT'S ALL BEEN POSITIVE REALLY, THEY'VE ENJOYED THE GAME VERY MUCH. MOST OF MY MARKET REALLY IS OUT WEST, SO FAR BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE WEST, THEY HAVE A LOVE OF THE WEST THEMSELVES, AND THEY KNOW A LOT OF THIS HISTORY THEMSELVES.)) [RUNS17]
[OUT Q=history themselves.]

But Goode says anyone will find the game interesting.. he's had a thousand produced and hopes a major retailer will get interested as well.
Until then, Goode is content to work horses back in his hometown.. while always keeping one eye looking west.
