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:
Rules of Play
Eight double-sided map boards
Result Cards (108)
Action Cards (130): Seven sets of 12 = 84; plus “bonus” cards (46)
B1 (4), B2 (7), B3 (7), B4 (5), B5 (5), B6 (5), B7 (5), B8 (4), B9 (4)
Counters (277)
Figures, round (48)
“H” round counters (12)
Weapons/objects, med square (112)
Tactical, sm square (96)
Horse, large (9)
