Colt Express - Couriers and Armored Train (expansion)

«Colt Express: Couriers and Armored Train» is the third expansion to the board game "Colt Express"

In this expansion, you will split into two teams, each of which will hunt for its own secret document, moving between two trains. The objective of the game is to capture the secret document guarded by armed couriers and collect more rewards than the opposing team. The main thing is to end up in the right train by the end of the mission…

Bandits are in for a new struggle for loot! Under the supervision of the mentor Il Professore, familiar characters will need to rob the armored train guarded by armed couriers, which carries secret documents, and of course, grab as many jewels as possible — the more, the better! Two new bandits will also join the mission — Misty and Twins!

Your adventure will start on the train from the base game (the starting train). The new armored train from this expansion, which must be assembled according to the assembly diagram, will move in the opposite direction parallel to the starting train, advancing forward with each round.

Trains move in opposite directions

The game follows the basic game rules with some changes and consists of five rounds, each of which is divided into two phases:

• Phase 1: Planning. Bandits from one team can discuss their plans with each other, but keep in mind that players from the opposing team can hear you.
• Phase 2: Robbery. Bandits cannot share information: each player decides what to do with the played action or support cards.

During the game, new trophies will become available to you: gold nuggets, bags, and secret documents, as well as a new reward — the «Wild Gang» token. Il Professore comes to the aid of the team with fewer players and takes actions during the game automatically.

The Twins are inseparable twins passing themselves off as one person.

The most reliable ally of Misty is her fists. Don't get in her way when she's in a bad mood.

Who has more? At the end of the game, only the bandits who are inside or on the roof of the starting train count the loot for their team. The loot of bandits who remained inside the armored train does not count, and these players are considered losers even if their team won. The rules provide for two modes: standard and «Betrayal» mode. In «Betrayal» mode, only one player from the team can be the winner.
