Trivia

• The Hibernating Bear was originally called "Big Chief Hibernating Bear". Also, a Template:W cactus was originally intended to be in the set instead of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, but playtesters thought that a man in a Native American headdress eating peyote and going on a killing spree was offensive.
