Reset the game

The game components get mixed up during the course of a game. These tips will help you to reset quickly and correctly.

Gather and separate components as follows:

• Bandit Character cards.
• Ambush cards.
• Frontier deck cards.
• Faction-specific Player cards, for each faction. Remember that some cards are especially likely to get mixed up with those of the opposing faction, because they are placed in or near the opponent's playing area (such as Sandstorm and Row-Blocking cards).
• Battlefield, Scene, Derail the Train and Mexican Border cards.
• Mexican Border cube tokens and the Turn Marker.
• All other game tokens (return them to the stock).

Finally, separate out each faction's Player cards by the expansions they belong to — unless you intend to re-use the decks exactly as they are in your next game.
