About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! Ready to add some extra spice to your train heist adventure? Colt Express: Cursed Loot is that expansion that arrives to mess up the order and make everyone laugh (or curse!). If you thought the base game already had its share of struggles, hold on tight: now what you steal could be a real trap. Imagine grabbing a briefcase full of promises, only to discover it contains a few bucks and some cheap costume jewelry. It's the kind of bad luck that makes you want to throw the board out the window, but at the same time, it gives you that drive to try again and outsmart the other bandits. This expansion introduces new cards that bring an element of luck and misfortune, changing the dynamic of what you can get when you steal. The idea is that not everything that glitters is gold, and sometimes the treasure you're aiming for can be a big disappointment. But don't worry, because this disappointment can turn into an advantage if you play your cards right. The 'Take That' mechanic gets a new level here, with items that can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on who finds them. It's perfect for those who enjoy a bit more unpredictability and want to see chaos unfold on the train. If you've already mastered Colt Express and want more challenges, this is the right pick!
