Colt Express: Bandits – Belle

About this expansion

Colt Express: Bandits – Belle is a 2–5 player expansion with an approximately 60-minute play time, released in 2018. It adds a new story-driven challenge in which the players compete against the game itself.

Each Bandits expansion introduces a specific goal and new actions for the bandit controlled by the game. In Belle’s scenario, the bot is searching for jewels. She always moves toward the place containing the most jewels, creating a changing threat that the players must track and oppose.

Belle has two distinctive actions. Theft lets her take one jewel for every bandit in her location, while Charm moves all bandits toward her location. These abilities can disrupt the players’ plans and bring them directly into the heart of her jewel hunt.

• Theft: Belle takes one jewel for each bandit sharing her location.
• Charm: All bandits move toward Belle’s location.
• Marshal interaction: Belle can remain in the wagon where the Marshal is located.

The players need to work together against Belle because she can win the scenario—and if she does, everyone loses. Cooperation is essential, but it is not the whole story: when the bot is defeated, there is still only one winner, determined by who is the richest bandit.

With its focused objective, unusual movement, and character-specific actions, Colt Express: Bandits – Belle turns the familiar bandit rivalry into a contest against a shared opponent. Coordinate your efforts, watch where the jewels are concentrated, and decide how much cooperation is needed before the final race for riches begins.
