Cheyenne and Denver, the Union Pacific and the Denver Pacific, the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho country around them, and the years from 1869 to 1876. The book gives the history, the places and nations, the roles and rules, and a starter adventure with pregenerated characters. A table needs only the Exodus NDS Core Rules beside it; gear comes from the sourcebooks the book cites.
