About the game
What you do in a play session
It's time to add a special touch to your Colt Express with the North Pole Station expansion! This little gem was released as a Christmas present, coming in those special advent calendars we love. It's a new stop card, the North Pole Station, which slightly changes the base game's dynamics. At the end of the game, there's an extra rule: each bandit has to give their most valuable purse to the 'imp' – imagine the chaos!
This expansion is for those who already enjoy the fun chaos of Colt Express and want to add a little extra spice. It's not overly complex, but the change in final scoring can be surprising and force players to think twice about where they're keeping their treasures. If you own the base game and want to explore new possibilities without overcomplicating things, this addition is perfect. It's one of those extras that, despite being small, can create memorable moments and unexpected twists. Ideal for those who like to collect all the promos or simply vary their gaming experience. Get ready for another round of high-speed heists, now with a festive touch and a special penalty for the greediest!
