If there is no empty space left in a hazard section when drawing a hazard tile, you return it to the bag and draw a new tile. This rule ensures that hazard sections don't overflow beyond their designated spaces (numbered 1 to 4) during the initial setup of Kansas City.

Based on the player count, the following number of worker tiles should be placed in the job market during setup: - **2-player game**: 3 worker tiles - **3-player game**: 5 worker tiles - **4-player game**: 7 worker tiles The tiles are placed starting from the space beneath your player count sign in the top row, continuing rightwards, then moving to the second row and continuing until you place the final tile to the left of the job market token.

The cattle market cards should be arranged face up beneath the game board in an overlapping row where the left side of each card is visible. The cards should be sorted by color and arranged in the following order from left to right: yellow, red, blue, brown, purple (though not all colors may be present depending on the cards drawn). The number of cards to draw depends on player count: 7 cards for 2 players, 10 cards for 3 players, or 13 cards for 4 players.

The Kansas City supply consists of 3 bags containing tiles sorted by the numbers on their backs (1, 2, and 3). These bags contain worker tiles, outlaw tiles, and hazard tiles mixed together. The bags are used throughout setup and the game to draw tiles for different purposes - initially to fill the job market with worker tiles (marked "1" on back) and to populate the 6 foresight spaces in Kansas City (2 tiles each from bags 1, 2, and 3). When tiles are drawn, they're placed in different locations depending on their type: worker tiles go to the job market, outlaw tiles to the outlaw section, and hazard tiles to their corresponding hazard sections. The number system (1, 2, 3) ensures tiles enter the game in a balanced way over time.

No, you only need to use the player count tile in 2 or 3 player games. According to the rules, "If you are playing with 2 or 3 players, you also receive the player count tile of your color. Turn it to the side of the appropriate player count and use it to cover up Phase A of your player board." In 4-player games, you don't use the player count tile.

If you don't want to play with the Simmental variant, return the 24 orange cattle cards to the box during setup. The rules specifically state: "If you prefer to play without the Simmental cards return the 24 orange cattle cards to the box."

According to the rules, there should be **4 objective cards visible** during the game. During setup, you shuffle the 24 objective cards into a face-down stack, then reveal 4 cards and display them face up in a column below the stack. This display is called the "general objective display."
