Boot Hill Role-playing Game 2nd Edition Box cover

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of board game covers to illustrate the board game in question, where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States.

This is a scan of the cover of the second edition of the Boot Hill role-playing game, as published by TSR in 1979.

• It is of relatively low resolution, considering it was a larger than A1 size box
• It is unevenly cropped, with sides missing, and part of the bottom edge visible
• Boot Hill went into a third edition in 1990, the second edition is outdated and out of print
• Because of that, it could not be printed to compete with the rightful publishers
• The picture is being used to illustrate the article on the game, it is a historical reference, used for didactic purposes only
• As this was a commercial product, there is no way to make a completely free picture
