You place hazard and outlaw tiles in their designated sections on the board, not in the job market. Only worker tiles go in the job market. Continue drawing from bag 1 until you have placed the required number of worker tiles (3, 5, or 7 depending on player count) in the job market.

If there are no empty spaces left in a hazard section (flood, drought, or rockfall), return that tile to the bag and draw a new tile. This prevents overfilling the hazard sections during setup.

The numbers (1, 2, or 3) on tile backs determine when tiles enter the game and are used for sorting into the three Kansas City supply bags. This ensures a balanced distribution of different tile types throughout the game phases.

Not all colors need to be present in the cattle market. Arrange whatever colors you draw in the specified order from left to right, but some colors may be missing entirely depending on the cards drawn.

You only receive and use the player count tile in 2 or 3 player games. Turn it to show the correct player count and use it to cover Phase A of your player board, which modifies certain game elements for lower player counts.

Each private building tile has two sides (marked 'a' and 'b') that provide different abilities or costs. Players can choose which side to use when placing the building, allowing for strategic flexibility based on their current needs.

During setup, place 2 tiles each on foresight spaces marked 1, 2, and 3, drawing from the corresponding numbered bags in the Kansas City supply. These spaces show players what tiles will be available in future rounds.

Station master tiles are shuffled and placed randomly on the 5 station master spaces during setup. There are no restrictions - any tile can go on any space, creating variability between games.
