About the game

What you do in a play session

Pony Express is a wild race through the Old West, where you play as a postal rider trying to deliver mail before your rivals. The game blends poker dice rolling, bluffing, and a bit of dexterity – your rolls determine how many spaces you move, but you can try to bluff your way to an advantage. Watch out for gunfights and distractions on the road to Sacramento! The mood is lighthearted, perfect for those who enjoy a fast-paced, interactive game. Don’t expect deep strategy here: Pony Express is all about fun and unpredictability, with a dash of luck and plenty of table talk.
