Reception

Wayne Bootleg reviewed Muskets and Mules for Adventurer magazine and stated that "Although pricey, it is immense value for money. The rule book alone is one of the best I have ever seen, and it tackles a complicated subject with great ease and clarity. The overwhelming feeling of involvement jumps out of the rulebook and grabs you by the throat. There is an atmosphere in the game which is realistic and quite moving."
