Colt Express: Horses & Stagecoach Expansion

The outlaws are back, better equipped and more daring than ever, as they set their sights on a new target: a nearby stagecoach loaded with riches. With trusty horses and helpful boosts along the way, players face new challenges and enemies in this thrilling expansion.

Key Features:

HORSES

• Outlaws can now ride horses, allowing faster movement across the train using the new Ride action card. Start the game galloping straight to your desired wagon!

STAGECOACH

• Board the stagecoach from the train or via horseback. On its roof, a Shotgun guards a $1,000 briefcase. Knock the Shotgun onto the train roof to access the loot, but beware—it will retaliate by wounding anyone in its way.

HOSTAGES

• Inside the stagecoach, take a passenger hostage to collect a ransom at the end of the game. However, hostages come with drawbacks that will hinder your actions for the rest of the game.

WHISKEY

• Seize whiskey flasks from passengers to gain valuable boosts. Normal Whiskey flasks let you replenish your hand or play twice in a row, while Old Whiskey allows you to play two actions back-to-back, giving you an edge when the heat is on.

NEW MECHANICS

• Horse Pawns: Move faster along the train—up to three cars forward or backward!
• Hostages: Gain money for taking hostages, but deal with their inconveniences.
• New End-of-Round Cards: Include bonus icons to carry over cards or introduce fresh events like Panting Horses, Mortal Bullet, and Sharing the Loot.
• Whiskey Loot: Collect Whiskey for game-changing advantages during critical moments.
