The game comes with a large double sided hard mounted game board, 2 sets of rules, 2 double sided player aids, two ten-sided dice, 3 counter sheets,and a playbook. Now be Crook at the Rosebud or Custer at the Little Big Horn OR Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. SEQUENCE OF PLAY SUMMARY FOR EACH TURN 1. Determine how many activation marker draws each side will draw for the turn. Then place all eligible markers in an opaque container. 2. Draw one activation marker from the container. If not usable, set aside and draw another activation marker until one drawn is eligible. 3. For the side drawn, use the activation marker to activate the corresponding units associated with the activation marker drawn. 4. Active units may move. 5. Complete all movement for those active units moving. 6. All active units adjacent to opposing units may attack the adjacent opposing units. 7. End turn if all eligible activations have been drawn. If not, repeat step 2 thru 7. Victory is determined by killing units and terrain objectives. Playable by 2 players in under 2 hours - Low complexity.
