8 Action cards (2 Fires, 2 Moves, 1 Floor Change, 1 Robbery, 1 Punch, 1 Poker game), 1 Doc's respect card, 6 Special Bullet cards, 6 Stake tokens, 1 Purse token.
This mini-expansion can be used with the base game Colt Express only (not with another expansion). Doc is played by the game, not by a player. Thus Doc may win the game.
Set-up
Set up the game as usual and place Doc to the First player's right. Then replace Ghost's Action deck with the enclosed Action deck, and his Bullet cards by the Special Bullet cards enclosed. Give Doc 2 Purses worth $250 instead of one. The player to Doc's right takes Doc's Respect card and place it in front of them. The 6 Stake tokens are muddled face down and placed next to the train in a stock.
Schemin' phase
At Doc' turns, draw randomly the first card of his Action deck and play it to the common deck.
Actions
All the base game rules apply except what follows.
Doc's Respect
When a Bandit shoots or Punches Doc, he takes Doc's Respect car in front of him. The Bandit who has this card makes all decisions in Doc's place. Doc follows the same rules as the other Bandits.
Special Bullet
The Bandit shot with a Special Bullet by Doc keeps this card face up in front of him and undergoes the corresponding effect until the end of the current Round.
The shot Bandit must drop his highest value Loot (blindly for the Purses).
The Fire, Floor Change, Punch, Move actions of the shot Bandit are cancelled.
Bullets given to Doc
When Doc gets a Bullet card, it is placed in front of his Character card; it does not go into his Action deck. If there are 3 Bullet cards or more in front of Doc when he is about to perform an Action, ignore that Action card then discard the three Bullet cards.
Doc is affected by the Events in the same way all the other Bandits are.
Poker game
Playing Poker suspends the Stealin' phase. All the Bandits who have at least one Loot must play. The player with Doc's Respect card randomly takes one Stake token from the stock. Then every participant adds one Loot of their choice, face down. The player with Doc's Respect looks at the Stake token and the given Loot tokens. He gives two tokens to Doc, and then one token to each participant except one. One of the participants finishes the poker game by have lost one Loot token.
Once you have a Stake token, you cannot loose it nor give it back in a later poker game.
End of the game
The Stake tokens count into the Loot of each Bandit. The richest Bandit wins the game.
