Colt Express is a railway-themed family board game designed by Christophe Raimbault, with illustration by Ian Parovel and Jordi Valbuena. It was published in 2014 by Ludonaute and is distributed by Asmodee. The game drew an unusually long list of honours after release, including the 2015 Spiel des Jahres, the 2015 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Annee, four of the 2014 Golden Geek Awards, the 2015 TricTrac Bronze award, the 2015 Lys Grand Public, the 2015 Gouden Ludo and the 2015 Hungarian Board Game Award. The publisher reported that more than 450,000 copies had been sold as of November 2016, which marks it as a commercial success as well as a critical one.
