Hi villager,

I just went through your tutorial on how to play Colt Express because I have never played the game before. Thank you for making it!

My only question after finishing the tutorial is regarding the Punch action. When a bandit gets punched, is it randomly determined which piece of loot that the bandit drops? Specifically, in the tutorial when Cheyenne punched me (Tuco), it was not clear why I dropped a $250 money bag instead of my $500 jewel.

I just looked at the rulebook:
The targeted Bandit loses a Loot token if he has one: choose a Loot token from his Character card and place it on the floor where your Bandit pawn is located. If you choose a Purse token, you are not allowed to look at its value.
My suggestion would be change the tutorial text like so (my changes are in bold):
A punched bandit also loses a Loot token (money bag / jewel / strongbox) of your choice which is dropped on the floor of the car. If you choose a money bag token, you are not allowed to look at its value. And then they go reeling backwards / forwards to an adjacent car of your choice.

You also dropped your $250 money bag that she promptly stole and added to her stash! She did not choose for you to drop your $500 jewel because her special ability only works on money bag tokens; she would not have been able to immediately steal the jewel.

As I was looking through the tutorial again for the purpose of writing this post, I noticed a few small typos:

If she was on the roof of the car, she could have run across up to 3 cars!

Turn 2 has now started, and it's back to the starting player, Ghost.

Good tutorial (I gave it 5 stars). One thing that would be awesome to fix (but may just be part of that "stuff that doesn't work in tutorials") is that the player colors aren't reflected in the player names on the right.
