About this expansion

Colt Express: Bandits – Cheyenne is a 2018 expansion for 2–5 players, with games lasting around 60 minutes. It introduces a game-controlled Cheyenne, creating a new challenge that players must face together.

Each Bandits expansion gives the game its own rules, story, goal, and actions. In this scenario, Cheyenne has traded her gun for a bow, and her arrows are poisoned. When she uses her bow, every targeted bandit receives a poisoned arrow.

Poison changes the stakes for everyone at the table. A bandit who cannot pick up an antidote before the end of the game automatically loses, regardless of how much wealth they have collected. Players therefore need to contend with Cheyenne’s attacks while still pursuing their own fortunes.

  • Game-controlled opponent: Cheyenne operates according to the rules of the expansion.
  • Poisoned arrows: Targeted bandits must find an antidote or automatically lose.
  • Swift movement: Cheyenne moves faster than any other bandit.
  • Purse stealing: When she ends her movement where other bandits are present, she takes one purse from each of them.

Cheyenne’s goal is to become the richest bandit among those who are not poisoned. If she succeeds, the players all lose, so cooperation is essential—even though the final outcome still comes down to which player is richest.

With its shared threat and competing personal objectives, Colt Express: Bandits – Cheyenne adds a tense challenge to the Colt Express experience. Players must manage Cheyenne’s speed, avoid her bow, secure antidotes, and protect their purses before the game ends.
