Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• area majority — The 'bust marker' moves to the location with the most players, potentially blocking actions for others.
• hand management — Players draw cards and use them for various actions, such as paying costs for buildings or events.
• Resource conversion — Players convert resources like money, gold, and dudes into buildings, points, or other benefits.
• set collection — Collecting sets of buildings or rivers appears to be a way to score points.
• Simultaneous action selection — Players secretly choose their actions and then reveal them, resolving them in location order.
• worker placement — Players choose starting locations and place their 'dudes' on various action spaces on the board.

Quotes (from this video)

• Coloma you have come to the right place
• in this video we're going to do a short play through a couple of rounds of the game Coloma to give you a flavor for how it flows
• we're going to show you a quick playthrough of the game Coloma by jonathan pat canton and published by final frontier games
• I'm playing as red and we also have our black coloured neutral player to get in our way
• we're not going to concentrate a lot on destroy Yugi but it should only show you different actions that we can do
• we're playing with a prototype copy of the game here so components may not be final
• that unfortunately covers up my soar building actions so I can only construct one building
• I can move one space one space so that means one times two so this is we all start at Coloma I want to collect a few things
• I can get a hidden barrel it might be good cuz look at the barrel here usually it's quite good bonuses
• advance one space
• so we're going to see two of the places Buster's not gonna go
• I feel like I might try to build camp perhaps in the front
• I'm gonna build this as the first one it's my first building which is the the hammer action
• I will pay two money and two dudes and for the second one second building I will have to spend the saw action which cost me one gold in one dude
• I'm going to take a tent yeah take a camp for my boom action
• I'm also going to put some dudes into this gunfight
• I might go straight in if I place for then I'm in a good position potentially to claim the six points from this upcoming gunfight
• usually if say Buster had gone there and this would have moved around to here and block that out so you would only even got to move your wagon once
• what that means is if you go to location 4 and it gets blocked out you can spend $1 to take your second wagon action
• I get two got now I mean to open two horses that's okay now I'm sure it's a good quality help horse takes me further circles true
• so unfortunately that's gonna stay right where it is and it's my turn now
• so this is good because I get to do both actions which is what I want to do
• I'm going to build river the second river
• I get 10 points 8 + 2 10 points all up
• oh one extra horse and one extra hwagok sure
• so what I'll do I'll do that I'll flip this to demonstrate one two three four gives me another six to it although yes I do have six students
• I can only take a single build action with a hammer
• hammer building is going to cost me two dudes
• I forgot about number five
• oh no I'm gonna have to kill them my dudes
• so as a result of this now when I say I get my six points and I'll be able to get some horses quickly next time I go to location one well I can only build the one well that's my fault for not thinking this through
• I have the most dudes at the fight yes so I retain first player and I get six points
