Round Cards will also sometimes contain a symbol (printed in the top right). These symbols refer to events that happen at the end of the round and are explained in detail in the manual. It is recommended you don’t use these in your first game but, if you choose to, it’s worth looking them up at this point, so that players can take this into account.

Colt Express: Horses & Stagecoach, the first expansion for the 2015 Spiel des Jahres winner Colt Express, introduces a 3D stagecoach that rides alongside the train from the base game. The bandits now have horses that they can ride to move faster between the cars, and these horses allow them to jump into the stagecoach as well. Colt Super Expresshas the spirit of the original, award-winingColt Expressin the form of a fast-paced, survive-to-win format that players can take anywhere. In the middle of the table is perhaps the real star of Colt Express Big Box — the train. Composed of four to six carriages and a locomotive, the train is made from meeple-sized cardboard models which feature two levels (inside and on the roof) and front and rear panels that keep them together. If you’re playing with either (or both) of the Stagecoach and Prisoner expansion modules (both of which are included in Colt Express Big Box) then you may also have a stagecoach model, or a jailhouse carriage.Golden Geek Best Thematic Board Game Nominee | Board Game Honor | BoardGameGeek". boardgamegeek.com .

The stagecoach, with its second strongbox and valuable hostages adds new ways to increase the score well beyond that of the base game, but again it introduces new risks and complexity. Will you be able to make it to the stagecoach at all, and if you do, will you be shot off it more or less immediately? New abilities provided by the whisky (draw and/or play extra cards) or the reduced prisoner mitigate some of the new challenges, but are often a challenge and at the very least a distraction to get to. Note – Due to the nature of this action programming mechanic, it’s likely that some of your actions won’t go to plan and that things you hoped to carry out will now be impossible. I recommend getting used to this and maybe even warning new players before the game begins.

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! 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:If you’ve already had the pleasure of playing 2014’s unique hand management/action programmer Colt Express, you’ll instantly be at home with both the thrilling high-speed heist scenario and the rogue gallery of characters playing it out.
