About this game
Bring your cattle to Abilene, Kansas, in 1870. Hope that your opponents get only your sick cows. If they get another one, then there is the time for a shootout between your cowboys. The player who manages to bring the most herds to Abilene (and earns the most money) wins. The original Hexagames edition supports only 3 players. The Schmidt Spiele edition supports up to 6 players.
