Colt Express (Board Game)

An outlaw’s life, in the Old West…
In Colt Express, you play a “desperado”, who attacks a passenger train.

No mercy, no possible alliance: between the cars, on the train’s roof,bullets come from everywhere. The out-laws are injured. The Marshall patrols thetrain, thwarts the plans of the bandits. He is an additional threat in thisextraordinary project.

Who will become the best gunslinger? Who will get the greatest share ofthe loot?

Each character has his own personality but, at the end of the day, they allhave the same goal: to get the biggest slice of the pie in robbing thepassengers.

A game goes in 5 rounds, and in each round, there are2 steps:

• programming the next actions by placing card on the top of thecommon pile
• performing those actions played during the first step.

One Event card is drawn at the beginning of each round. It shows the numberof turns there will be during the first step as well as the way the cards are tobe played.

The possible actions are:

• Moving (from a car to the next one inside the train or up to 3 cars onthe roof)
• Going up/down
• Robbing (taking the loot from the passengers)
• Shooting (giving one of your bullets to an opponent, who stands in the nextcar inside the train, or within line of sight on the roof )
• Punching (making an opponent move from your car to the next one and makinghim lose loot)
• Moving the Marshal. When he meets a bandit, the latter flees to the roof andreceives a shot (bullet from the Marshall).

The bullets
When a bandit is shot by another one or by the Marshal, his player gets a Bulletcard. He adds this Bullet card to his Action cards deck. These cards areuseless; they set you back.

At the end of the game, each player counts his loot. Theoutlaw who shot the most becomes the gunslinger and wins $1,000. The richestoutlaw wins the game.
