Directory of Lost Cities Resources

Home > Games > Card Games > Special Decks > Lost Cities

Designed by Reiner Knizia 1999. English edition by Rio Grande Games, German edition by Kosmos and French edition by Tilsit Éditions. 2-player game, which takes about 30 minutes. For the daring and adventurous, there are many lost cities to find and explore. The search can take you to the Himalayas, the Brazilian rain forest, the ever-shifting sands of the desert, ancient volcanoes and to Neptune’s Realm. The object is to mount profitable expeditions to one or more of the five different lost cities. Card play is quite straightforward, with a few agonizing moments sprinkled through what is mostly a fast-moving game. If you start a given expedition, you'd better make some progress in it, or it'll score you negative points. If you can make a lot of progress, you'll score quite well. After three rounds, the highest total score takes the day.
