2015 SdJ winner, Colt Express, Comes to Digital

It's kind of funny that a game known more for its amazing production values than its gameplay has made the way to a medium in which cardboard doesn't exist. How do you recreate the utter coolness of Colt Express' 3D train on a 2D touchscreen? Turns out Asmodee can do it pretty well, as the newly released digital version of Colt Express looks downright amazing. That's right, Colt Express, the 2015 SdJ winner was released for iOS, Android, and PC today. It includes online multiplayer for maximum chaos, but it also has a single-player story mode with a 30 mission campaign. Buried within the campaign are digital-only variants to unlock which will mix up what you know about Colt Express, and you might even find a variant in online multiplayer mode as well. If you haven't played Colt Express, it's a programmed movement game in which each player plays a card to a central pile. Some of the cards are face up so you can see what the other players are planning, but some are face down and these tend to screw up your best laid plans. Once all cards are played, the pile is picked up and flipped over and revealed card-by-card, and now the actions are played out on the aforementioned 3D train. It's a chaotic, yet incredibly fun, mess. Don't sign up if you're looking for a deep strategic or tactical experience. Colt Express is available right now for iOS Universal, Android, and PC via Steam. It's $7 on mobile and $10 for PC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPk5aiI93-Y
