About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for more Wild West mayhem with Colt Express: Bandits – Tuco! This expansion introduces a new sheriff to the party, or rather, a new bandit to control: Tuco himself. He's not too happy to see the Marshal, an old friend with whom he holds a serious grudge. Tuco enters the scene with abilities that can shake things up for everyone, including Belle. His 'Fire and Punch' actions hit everyone in the car, and the 'Swap' action messes with Tuco and the Marshal's positions. Watch out: if you're the one who puts the Marshal in the same car as Tuco, you'll earn a 'Wanted' token, worth a hefty sum at the end. And there's more: at the end of the game, Tuco's loot is worth more if he's fired a lot of shots. This expansion adds a forced cooperative element against the Tuco 'bot', but don't be fooled, only one bandit can end up rich. Work together to prevent Tuco from winning, but remember that individual competition remains fierce. It's a great addition for those who already enjoy Colt Express and want more challenges and twists at their table, adding a game-controlled opponent that can even beat everyone!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base Colt Express game to play with this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion and requires the base Colt Express game to be played.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion, like the base game, is for 2 to 5 players. It adds a 'bot' (Tuco) to play against.
Does the game's complexity increase significantly with this expansion?
The overall complexity doesn't increase drastically, but the need for coordination and attention to the bot's actions adds an extra layer of challenge.
What happens if the Tuco 'bot' wins?
If Tuco (the bot) achieves his objective and wins, all players lose together. It's a real risk!
Is this expansion more focused on cooperation or competition?
It's a mix! You need to cooperate to prevent Tuco from winning, but in the end, only one player will be the richest bandit.
What are the main new features Tuco brings?
Tuco holds a grudge against the Marshal, his actions can hit multiple targets, and he has his own objective that can lead to everyone's defeat.
