Colt Express board game

Colt Express is a highly acclaimed board game designed by Christophe Raimbault and published by Ludonaute. Released in 2014, it gained widespread recognition by winning the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award in 2015. The game is set in the American Wild West, where players take on the role of bandits robbing a train.

While the brand and the original publisher, Ludonaute, are based in France, the manufacturing of the physical board game components is primarily handled in Germany, a central hub for high-quality board game production. The brand is part of the Asmodee Group, which was acquired by the Embracer Group in late 2021. As of 2024 and looking ahead to 2026, it remains under the umbrella of Asmodee, which is currently undergoing a strategic transition into an independent entity within the market.
