Product Information

You’ll start by placing the train cards upon which Colt Super Express is played. That’s the front steam locomotive card followed by the carriage cards, the amount of which is the number of players plus one. Once your robbers are placed, the bandit bedlam can begin! Each player has four action cards which allow you to navigate your way around the hurtling train, three of which you’ll choose for the current round. You can: Colt Express is a game that soars high or falls flat depending entirely on the mindset of those playing. After all of the actions for the round are resolved, the event that is printed on the card will take place (assuming you have chosen to play with this rule). Rob (2) – Take one loot token from the car you’re in, or from the roof if you are on top of the train, and put it on your character sheet. All loot remains face down for the whole game.

Colt Express Big Box has just been released by publisher Ludonaute, claiming to be the full Colt Express experience. This big box version of the game includes the base game, the Horses and Stagecoach expansion, the Marshal and Prisoners expansion and a brand new bandit called Silk. Designed by Christophe Raimbault, featuring artwork from Jordi Valbuena, Colt Express is a game that sees 2 – 9 players robbing a train and in true Wild West fashion they’ll be shooting each other and dodging the dastardly law along the way. However, is this the best way to play Colt Express? Let’s find out! Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Nominee | Board Game Honor | BoardGameGeek". boardgamegeek.com . Retrieved 2019-11-06.

The base game, the 2 expansions and a new Bandit in one box.

To begin, the first player will draw a Round Card and show it to the table. Each card shows how players will be taking turns this round: This game uses a 3D cardboard train in place of a board, so the first step is to assemble each carriage using the instructions in the box. Once that’s complete, you’re ready to learn how to play. Setup

Trains & 1 Mission features an additional 3D train for players to introduce into their games which contains two special cars and even more dangers to overcome. Also included in the upcoming board game expansion are two new bandits for players to take control of, each with their own unique powers. One is a fierce hand-to-hand fighter called Misty, who has the ability to use any bullet cards in her hands as punch cards, and the other is a duo called Twinzz who are able to play two cards whenever a tunnel round occurs - but must play both face up. Take the locomotive and one train car per player (at random) from the box. This will form the train you’re robbing this game. Alongside the Marshal role comes Mei. She is a brand new character ready to be part of the competitive train heist. Unlike the base game bandits, Mei’s ability is all about movement. When doing a vertical movement she is able to move diagonally to an adjacent carriage. This might not sound like much. However, it can completely throw other bandits off your trail, allowing you to swoop in and claim loot. Having another bandit in the mix from the get go is great for variety and for players that like to play as the yellow meeple in all games. For more details on the Marshal & Prisoners expansion read the full review here.Besides the two new playable characters, an AI controlled character called Il Professore is featured within the expansion that’s designed to stand in for an extra player should one team ever find themselves understaffed. There are two team modes included in 2 Trains & 1 Mission, one which is a straight-up battle between two sides to see which earns the most gold and one where players can choose to betray their team in the last round and try to take the gold for themselves. Should players choose to support their team, then they can play a nudge card to give one of their fellow bandits a chance to perform a basic action on their turn. In Colt Express, players represent bandits robbing a train at the same time; the goal is to become the richest outlaw of the Old West. [4] Will the bandits be able to keep a cool head and dodge bullets? Will they succeed in stealin' the Nice Valley Coal Company's weekly payroll, stored in strongboxes that are closely watched by Marshal Samuel Ford? Only one bandit will achieve his goal: becoming the richest outlaw of the gang Team-up with your fellow bandits to pull off an ambitious train heist together in the latest expansion for Colt Express - 2 Trains & 1 Mission.
