Ride The Outlaw Trail

In this game you start out personified as Butch Cassidy. You have a horse, $300 and the shirt on your back. Movement around the board is by roll of the dice. To become a rustler you must acquire your guns and gear. There is an outer trail in which you are a small-time rustler and you steal cows and horses and put your gang together. There are 32 real outlaws with biographies in this game. Critters stolen in one state need to be driven to another for sale. They can be stolen from you on this journey. Once you have at least two gang members you can move to the inner trail where the banks and trains are. These are the same ones robbed by the Wild Bunch. Interspersed throughout the board are "Outlaw Fate" squares. When you land on these you take an Outlaw Fate card. This is real history. There are 192 of these cards and each card tells a story and the resulting board move. They can either be good, bad or neutral to you. Once you have stolen a predetermined amount of money you can take the "Final Trail" to win the game. Tom Horn is waiting for you and may be you'll make it and maybe your won't.
