Description

This 1890 game by Edgar O. Clark is part of the publisher's Tokalon series and should not be confused with the 1900 Parker Brothers game The Rough Riders, which cashed in on Teddy Roosevelt's famous charge up San Juan Hill. Edgar O. Clark describes its game in the rules as simply "illustrating the wild life in the far West".

It is a simple spin and move game, with a few special spaces (Charge, Run Away, Ditch, Halt, Thrown and Wire Fence) that provide pluses or minuses. A piece that lands on another swaps places (sending the other back), and the four corner circles are safety points where bumping is not allowed. First player back to the start wins.
