Bang! The Great Train Robbery
Can you hear that whistle in the distance? Smoke is rising on the horizon, and that can only mean one thing—it is time for a heist! Bang! The Great Train Robbery is an action-packed expansion that adds a moving train filled with riches and danger to the legendary card game. Get your Colts ready, because the stop at the next station might determine who leaves with the loot and who gets left in the dust.
Why play this game
- A moving locomotive and wagons roll into town, bringing precious cargo and tactical bonuses.
- Features a unique train movement mechanic that shifts the game's rhythm and rewards.
- Expands the Wild West with 8 new characters and a wide range of thematic gear.
The Iron Horse Rides
This expansion enriches the classic Bang! experience with a unique train mechanic. A track of station cards is laid out on the table, and a locomotive followed by wagons moves across them. Each wagon hides a specific effect or reward for the player who can hijack it in time. Beyond the train itself, you can look forward to 8 new characters with original abilities and a wealth of new equipment and action cards that perfectly capture the Western heist atmosphere and broaden your tactical choices in every turn.
All Aboard!
- Mix the new character and equipment cards into your base Bang! deck and set up the station track on the table.
- At the start of the Sheriff's turn, the locomotive and all attached wagons move forward to the next station.
- If you want to claim a wagon's benefit, you must pay the required cost when the train stops at your location.
- Use the unique abilities of the new characters to manipulate the train or gain an advantage during unexpected shootouts.
Why You Will Love This Heist
The Great Train Robbery adds fantastic visual and gameplay dynamics to Bang!. The train is not just a static element; it is a living part of the game that forces players to plan their moves differently and save their cards for the perfect moment. Waiting for a wagon as it rolls toward you creates incredible tension. Furthermore, the new characters and equipment cards are designed to increase player interaction, making this the perfect way to refresh the game you know with a cinematic feel of classic western train robberies.
