Colt Express
On the 11th of July, 1899 at 10 a.m., the Union Pacific Express has left Folsom, New Mexico, with 47 passengers on board. After a few minutes, gunfire and hurrying footsteps on the roof can be heard. Heavily armed bandits have come to rob honest citizens of their wallets and jewels. Will they succeed in stealing the suitcase holding the Nice Valley Coal Company's weekly pay, despite it having been placed under the supervision of Marshal Samuel Ford? Will these bandits hinder one another more than the Marshal since only the richest one of them can come out on top?

In Colt Express, you play a bandit robbing a train at the same time as other bandits, and your goal is to become the richest outlaw of the Old West. The game consists of five rounds, and each round has two phases:
Phase 1: Schemin' Each player plays 2-5 action cards on a common pile, with the cards being face up or face down depending on the type of the round. Instead of playing a card, a player can draw three cards from her deck.
Phase 2: Stealin' The action cards are carried out in the order they were played, with a player's best laid plans possibly not panning out due to mistakes and oversights!

Exp Caballos y diligencias. Exp Marshall y prisioneros. Exp Bandits Cheyenne. Exp Bandits Tuco. Exp Bandits Diango.
It was a funny game to play with friends, requiers a bit of strategy and memory game, is better if someone likes to narrate the actions while drawing the final cards.
Very fun
In German
Juego de asaltar un tren. Cada jugador lleva a un bandolero y su objetivo es robar la mayor cantidad de dinero del tren antes de que llegue a la estación. Se juega en cinco turno. En cada turno, una carta indica cuantas rondas se juegan. En cada ronda, un jugador puede jugar una carta de acción, o robar tres cartas de su mazo. Una vez que todos han jugado sus rondas, se resuelve el turno y van sucediendose las acciones en el orden que se jugaron las cartas. Es caótico totalmente y ahí precisamente reside su gracia. Algunas veces las cartas se juegan bocaabajo. Para más coña, al final de cada r
