About the game
What you do in a play session
Colt Super Express captures all the adrenaline of the award-winning Colt Express, but in a more compact and direct format, perfect for on-the-go fun. Get ready for a 'battle royale' style version where the goal is to be the last bandit standing on the train, because, as you can imagine, there can only be one when the locomotive stops! Each round, players secretly choose three (or up to six, with optional expansions) of their action cards and place them face down in a pile. These cards dictate what they'll do: move through the train, shoot rivals, or other shenanigans. The excitement builds as actions are revealed and executed in sequence, and you see if your plans (or bluffs!) paid off. But the real tension arrives at the end of the round: the last train car is removed, and whoever is in it... well, they're out! Bandits can also be eliminated by being knocked off the train by opponents' shots. Whoever manages to survive this insane chase on rails claims victory. It's a fast-paced game, full of player elimination and lots of interaction, ideal for those looking for instant fun and a bit of strategic chaos.
