The Game Board

The routes lead to remote and mysterious corners around the world: the Himalayan mountains, the Central American rainforest, the Egyptian desert, a mysterious volcano, and the bottom of the sea. Play the standard five expedition game on one side or flip the board over to play the optional game variant with six expeditions!

Card tactics are key to winning this strategy game for two players! Be ready to take chances and test your luck!
How to Play
The rules of the game are very simple, but don't get the wrong impression! There is much more to Lost Cities than it might seem at first glance. Each player starts with 8 cards distributed at random. The remaining cards are placed in a draw pile beside the board. During each turn, a player must either place a card on one of his or her expedition columns, or discard a card face up on the board. Discarding a card allows the other player to snatch it up on his or her next turn!
Also Available
Fans looking for even more variety will enjoy the other games in the Lost Cities franchise: Lost Cities: The Board Game and Lost Cities: Rivals--both for 2 to 4 players.
