Colt Express

About this board game

Welcome aboard the Colt Express, a thrilling and immersive board game that transports you to the Wild West. In this game, you find yourself in the boots of a bandit with a single goal in mind – to become the richest outlaw of the Old West. As you navigate the moving train, you will plot, scheme, and battle it out with fellow bandits, all aiming for the same loot.

The setting of the game is a 3D train which adds a unique tangible dimension to the gameplay. Each player is a bandit, moving through the carriages of the train, collecting loot, and outmaneuvering their opponents. The core mechanics of the game are centered around programming and action sequencing, where players pre-plan their moves in advance, and then watch them unfold, often with unexpected results.

At the start of each round, players simultaneously select multiple action cards that represent their chosen actions. These actions could be anything from moving to a different carriage, climbing up to the roof, punching another bandit, shooting, or picking up loot. The catch is that you don’t know what actions your fellow bandits are plotting. Once all players have selected their actions, they are revealed and executed in the order they were played. This introduces an element of unpredictability and chaos, as players’ best-laid plans can be thwarted by an unexpected move from another player.

What makes Colt Express unique is not just its Wild West setting or its 3D train, but also the way it combines strategy with unpredictability. It’s perfect for those who enjoy strategy games but also crave a bit of chaos and a whole lot of fun. The game also features stunning artwork and detailed character and train models, enhancing the immersive Wild West experience. So, saddle up, plan your moves, and get ready for a wild ride on the Colt Express!
