Instead of just chasing the train, you can now hop into the mysterious Time Travel Car, which sits in front of the locomotive. To get there, just use the “Move” action from inside the car or on the roof, or be shot by another bandit who ejects you straight into it. When you enter, the game pulls a trick: your character is moved to the back of the train, facing the locomotive, and you must reprogram your cards in the same order you already played them. If you do this twice in the same round, you create a paradox and, surprise, you’re eliminated! This reprogramming mechanic adds extra tension because you have to anticipate not only what you’ll do, but how time might give you a second chance (or not). The Time Travel Car also adds more strategic options, letting you escape dangerous situations or gain an edge over the other crews. The expansion keeps the same frenetic action vibe while adding a layer of complexity that makes every game feel fresh. If you love programming mechanics, player elimination, and Old West themes, this expansion will give you hours of fun and debates over who will survive the time trip! ## FAQ ### How long does a game last with this expansion?
