Overview

Colt Express plunges you into the heart of the Wild West as a notorious bandit attempting to rob a speeding train. The core gameplay revolves around planning your actions ahead of time by secretly programming cards. Each round, players simultaneously choose actions like moving between train cars, punching other bandits, shooting, robbing passengers, or moving to the roof of the train.

The real chaos begins when the action cards are revealed! Watch as your carefully laid plans go awry due to other players' interference, unexpected events, and the unpredictable Sheriff. A modular train setup and variable player powers add replayability to this lighthearted and chaotic experience where being the richest bandit is the only goal.
