About the game

What you do in a play session

Coloma: Deluxe Edition throws you right into the California Gold Rush of 1848! You are a pioneer on a mission to get rich and make your mark on the western frontier. To do this, you'll prospect for gold, use your earnings to hire workers, buy horses, and open your own businesses. Oh, and there's more: explore the region's beauty and wild lands. But beware, because the town of Coloma is buzzing with people who have the same plan! Competition is fierce, and you'll need plenty of cunning to avoid ending up "broken" (the famous "Bust!").

This Deluxe version comes with a few extras not found in the standard edition. If you enjoy games with worker placement, hand management, and simultaneous action selection, Coloma might be a great choice. The rondel adds a special touch to movement and action selection, while variable player powers and changing phase order ensure each game is a new challenge. And for those who like to play alone, the solo mode is a very interesting option. The Wild West theme is well represented, and city building is a key element in your journey to fortune. Prepare for an experience that blends strategy, a bit of luck, and a lot of competition for riches!
