October 21, 2021 – At Essen Spiel publisher Ludonaute revealed the Colt Express expansion 2 Trains and 1 Mission. It is about time as the original base game came out in 2014 to wide popularity that has not wained since; winning the Spiel des Jahres award in 2015 and still being one of the top games to this day. This expansion is due out in 2022 and will be for 3 – 9 players. The publisher, and designer Christophe Raimbault, released some details on what to expect.

Players now work together as teams to try to become the wealthiest bandits in the Wild West, and what’s better than a second train containing precious documents to spice up the adventure? As soon as they hear this, our famous bandits do not hesitate for a second, jumping from train to train to try to steal these documents on top of everything else up for grabs — but the shotguns roam wild and the Gatling on the roof does not bode well. On top of everything else, bandits have to be back on the starting train at the end of the last round if they want a chance to win.
