About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more action and chaos in the Wild West with the Colt Express: Couriers & Armored Train expansion! If you already enjoy the base game, this addition will spice up your experience even further. Now, the gang divides into teams, and the goal is to become the wealthiest pair of bandits, but with a twist: a second train full of precious documents has entered the fray! The scoundrels waste no time, jumping from one car to another, trying to grab everything they can while dodging bullets and the dreaded Gatling. And pay attention, because at the end of the last round, everyone needs to find a way back to the original train to have a chance at winning.

This expansion introduces a new 3D train with special cars, two new characters with unique powers – Misty and the Twinz –, and the possibility of playing in pairs, with the added tension of potentially betraying your partner or not. For those playing with an odd number of people, Il Professore, an AI-controlled bandit, enters the scene to balance the game. Plus, there's a new action card to give that friendly (or not-so-friendly) 'nudge' to a teammate. It's more planning, more betrayal, and more fun on the rails!
