Let’s Play: Colt Express
June 26, 2017 by dignity
Today Justin and John are joined by board game boffin Az for a playthrough of Colt Express from Ludonaute.
It's high noon in the studio as the marshal has his hands full trying to stop these guys from robbing the Colt Express.
Each of the three bandits has their own special abilities that can affect the outcome of the round but this game involves reading the other players just as much as the cards.
Would Justin look good in a Stetson?
I love this game. My only problem with it is the fiddliness of picking the loot and the meeple from the inside of the train with my big fingers.
Completely feel you on this actually, thankfully you can easily make an over-sized version of the game that I saw at UKGE 😀 Az
Love this game! It is one of my go to gateway games that I intro to non-game board people and it is always a hit.
I love this game too and so did my group I play with
Lovely looking little fun game, am very tempted.
Love this game, I think you sold me on picking it up for my gaming group.
having seen this added to my list, next game I will get.
It’s an amazing gateway game indeed and if you’d like a slightly deeper experience there’s a couple of expansions. I’d definitely recommend the Stagecoach as it adds extra movement and shooting choices, horses to jump on and off and just a lovely sense of speed as you ride along the side of the train. Az
Great fan of this game. Only played the base version but it’s got a nice flow to it and always finds a way to bring together funny moments when your programmed movement goes wrong.
Ace to see you guys getting into it 🙂
Cool little game, I did have it in my hand a few hours ago, but I do not buy games in Toy’s R Us – not only a matter of pride, but also to support games stores. I know that you can argue that if they sell games they will stock then and get more into the hobby, but still …
I might have to get it later, for the rules cards etc. and long term make a 28th version. ..
I really enjoyed watching this one.
Thank you for the feedback @amachan <3 Obviously it is early for our regular board game content so knowing what you all think means a lot 🙂 Az
What a fun little game. I think I need it on my shelf.
That does look like a blast. I’m enjoying these 40 minute games you chaps are playing.
