Avalon Hill’s entry into Wild West gaming is strictly a board game, as opposed to TSR’s Boot Hill, which is a board game – roleplaying game hybrid. I got a nice complete set in the shop, so I took the opportunity to take some notes and photos.

One thing I noticed when looking up this set online is the lack of a comprehensive parts list. The list on the box and in the rulebook are lacking in detail, and online resources mute. So here we go:
