## Description
Get ready for more Wild West action and looting with Colt Express: Happy 10th Anniversary! This special box is designed for true fans of the game, bringing a deluxe upgrade to its components. Say goodbye to cardboard tokens and hello to high-quality screen-printed wooden pawns and treasure tokens that add a special touch to your table. But it's not just about looks; the fun gets a boost too! This edition celebrates Colt Express's 10th anniversary with brand-new content that supercharges the base game. It introduces two new bandits for you to play with, expanding the player count and adding new tactics to your game. Meet Al Patron, the king of corruption, and Mary Pumpinks, an automated bandit who acts on her own, adding an extra and unpredictable opponent. Furthermore, new train cars enter the scene: the Circus Car, with its multiple floors and clown chests to explore, and the Handcar, which allows you to hide underneath the train or send rivals to the roof. To spice things up even more, the Special Punch Cards change the game, causing targets not to move to adjacent cars but to switch floors instead, adding an extra layer of strategy and surprise. If you already enjoy Colt Express, this expansion is an almost mandatory upgrade to make your games even more epic and visually stunning.
