After meeting up with a few cowboys on the trail you all sit down for a meal by the fire and start telling stories from past deeds, some good and some bad. The bad ones are coming from one very big man on the other side of the fire from you, and you come to realize that this guy is responsible for rustling several heads of steer from your ranch. Yes, it’s Thurston Bigelow Jackson himself! He doesn’t know you but you’re going to make him pay for the losses to your ranch, and your family’s livelihood.

You’ve traveled a day and a half to select your family plot in the county cemetery, and as the sun sets you are beset by spirits from beyond the grave! As the floating white forms approach you remember that cemeteries are almost never haunted, and since you see that one of them is packing a pistol you spot the ambush for what it really is. Better defend yourself, quick, or it will be a short “fall” to your final resting place. As you stack wood for the next season you hear faint rustling in the bushes, and spot a hairy tail, a pack of wild cats is coming closer! To flush one out you pick up a pumpkin and give it a roll, so you can see one of the will pounce. Better clear them out before they help themselves to your livestock.

Snidely, Dudley, Nell, and Horse As you are riding your steed over the plains of Canada, you can hear screams of a woman off in the distance. Could this be Nell Fenwick, you wonder? You spur the big white stallion onward toward the shrill cries. Rising up hard and fast, you see your beautiful Nell tied across the train tracks. With a yell, you inform your sweetheart that you will save her. In the distance you see Snidely Whiplash and his henchmen riding off hard. Pulling your sidearms with the speed of lightning, you empty your six guns and rifle into the fleeing rabble. Dismounting the great white steed, you quickly untie your blonde beauty and pull her from the tracks … After Billy The Kid and his Regulators spotted Buckshot Roberts entering the Blazer’s Mill Post Office they tried to get him to surrender rather than fight, Roberts refused and holed up in the mill while the Regulators attempted to talk him out. Eventually patience ran out and Roberts defended himself with his rifle, scoring multiple hits on targets including killing Dick Brewer instantly with a shot to the eye, and even knocking Billy senseless with his rifle barrel! Eventually Roberts was hit and died in agony 36 hours later despite attempts by a doctor to save him. Billy was later asked about the fight, to which he replied “Yes sir, he licked our crowd to a finish.” High praise indeed.  Boy's Night Out During a night of gambling and rowdy drink, you sit at a high-roller table, waiting for the cards to pile before you. There’s a crowd gathering around as the chips go down, and some of them are armed. They approach the table when you look down at your cards and one of them accuses you of having an ace up your sleeve. They go for their guns, and your “ace” better beat theirs. Make sure you don’t “trump” your friends at the table as you make your play.  Smoke and Fire It was supposed to be a nice, relaxing getaway to Bisbee, Arizona. After perusing the locks shops and settling in for the night, including a fine cigar from Abner’s Dry Goods, you tuck yourselves in for a blissful night’s sleep. But as luck would have it, a few ruffians have tossed a lit oil lamp through a window downstairs and a fire is spreading quickly. Save your partner and yourself – the bad guys are still in the street.  Tee Totalers Terrorize It seems that a cowboy can’t even have a drink in peace. The locals have had it with the drunkards, thieves, dregs and other crime-minded malcontents that have come through their township after saloon number 20 opened, to serve a population of under a thousand residents. As church opens and the worshipers leave, a mob of angry folk forms and heads toward your bar, the Busted Buzzard. You see rifles and pistols in their hands, so it seems that their attempts to motivate the drinkers to moderate have now become much less … moderate. Time to shoot your way out of town!  Lakota Indians As settlers moved westward, they frequently encountered tribes of indigenous peoples, including the westernmost of the Sioux groups – the Lakota. A tribe of Lakotas has welcomed you to stay with them for a few days to trade and water your horse. What you didn’t know is that this band participated in the Battle at the Greasy Grass (Little Big Horn), just two days ago! Over 50% of the U.S. 7th Cavalry were killed in the battle. Now, as you wake up from a good night’s sleep, you hear Lakota warriors calling out “Hokahe” (a “Let’s go” battle cry). General Sherman’s order of genocide in 1867 and the oncoming troops under those orders won’t tolerate a friend of their enemy. Snidely, Dudley, Nell, and Horse As you are riding your steed over the plains of Canada, you can hear screams of a woman off in the distance. Could this be Nell Fenwick, you wonder? You spur the big white stallion onward toward the shrill cries. Rising up hard and fast, you see your beautiful Nell tied across the train tracks. With a yell, you inform your sweetheart that you will save her. In the distance you see Snidely Whiplash and his henchmen riding off hard.
