The Twilight Express is a transcontinental train that carries all sorts of goods, crossing every city on the continent. Every day at twilight, the train, loaded with expensive goods, departs from the main station, fuming out smoke. Heavily guarded, the Twilight Express is no easy target for robbers and bandits. However, some people just never let go. And the players will have to make plans, hiring mercenaries and storing coal for their vehicles, to try to rob more expensive items from the train than the others. But when it comes to fighting the guards, they have to unite and thus, share the loot. And sometimes, plans just don’t work as planned and they could miss the train. No worries however as the Twilight Express will leave the station tomorrow and the next day as well! The winner of the game is the one who, with a clever strategy, robs the most money from the train! Each player secretly chooses cities where their bandits and coals should be sent. When all plans have been made, the players simultaneously reveal their plans and then send their bandits and coals to the chosen cities. Actions will be carried out only in the cities where player's bandits or coals have been placed in a row from the main station in City # 1. Depending on the cities chosen by the players, they can rob cargo by repelling security guards, sell collected cargo, or even steal large amounts of gold at the gold mine. The game ends when all the cargo tiles run out. The player with the highest score after adding the points gained with gold, and the special cards, wins the game. -description from publisher
