Thames & Kosmos Lost Cities: The Original Card Game with 6th Expedition | Strategic Card Game for 2 Players | Game Night for Kids & Adults Age 10+ | Fun Adventure & Exploration Game | Excellent Gift

Such a fun game. Highly recommend and very replayable. Straightforward once played a couple times. Great for couples new to board games

Simple and easy to learn card game where the players have to create tricks of their chosen expedition (up to 6 different ones). Match cards of the same colour in ascending order to gain points. Wager cards can be used at the beginning of each expedition to either double, triple or quadruple your final score. However if you don't make a score of over 20 your can end up with a minus value as the expeditions have a cost of 20 to start. Tricks of 8 cards or more give a bonus of 20 points on top. Holding onto cards your opponent needs is a good strategy to winning as once they have played a card of a certain number a lower value card cannot be played. The discard piles for each colour can be a good way of storing cards you might want to use later as you can only hold 8 cards at once. Don't wait too long though as once the draw pile is empty the game is over and the scores are added up.

Great two person game. Very quick to pick up but we have played it many times.

This is a very good game for 2 players. We wore the other game out, so this is a replacement. Can't tell you how many times we have played it. Highly recommend.

Great two player game.

Excellent game, we've played it loads over the last few months. Simple to grasp, highly recommend!

Lost Cities is a great little two player game that captures the feeling of explorers rushing to see who can be the first to find treasure and adventure through a series of expeditions. The game itself is very simple to play yet it has depth to it as you rush to build your expeditions while at the same time holding back the cards you also don't want your rival to have and possibly give them the lead. The artwork on the cards is quite nice and it also tells of your adventure through the art itself. This version comes with the sixth set of cards (the purple deck) and while the main game with five decks and five locations is fine, I recommend that you play with all six just to give the game a bit more time to allow you to develop your expeditions. Although try both sides to see which suits your playstyle better. The scoring system is a little weird but don't let it out you off. Buy this game and happy exploring!

i think this game is a nice way to start with younger kids but for only adults the game lack of interest and tactical goal.. art is nice, the box is too big for what is it (and for the shelves of people who own a lot of board games), we like it but not enough.. we may give it, or play a game every 6months if we keep it..

Tense and fun

We love this game. We play it at least once a day

Speedy fast delivery, great game.

Bellissimo gioco
