From the Publisher...
Fast as the wind! Buffalo Bill is the most famous Pony Express rider, who rode 2000 miles at an amazing speed more than 100 years ago in order to carry the mail in the Wild West of America. A fierce competition took place to be the best rider and to have the fastest horse. Dare to take the risk and be a powerful cowboy, who risks all of his money in order to be the first along with one of the riders to cover the 2000 mile journey to California. Pony Express is a game with: poker, bluff and strategy--tension, excitement and thrill. Only one genuine cowboy will come into riches, and only one daredevil rider will win the exciting race of the Pony Express.

Pony Express involves some rather unique mechanics - bluffing for movement and rolling dice at playing pieces! It sounds silly and to some extent it is - but the thing is, it comes together very nicely and works as a game. The mechanics feel appropriate and in-theme and the gameplay is just fun and furious. Highly recommended for families with children. |
