 ... than 20 (for example, 4, 5 and 9), you can get a negative score (in that case, -2). Investment cards multiply this in the negative, so you may get quite a bad score if you have not got enough cards laid out (3 investment cards at the start of this expedition would have meant a total of -8!) There is also a bonus score of +20 if you have played 8 or more cards in an expedition. After all the expeditions are totted up, the person with the highest total is the winner. Normally you would play the best of 3 or 5 games. ...more

Premium Review Lost Cities: Journey to the centre of the earth, and other places! (736 words)

First of all, a small confession. Lost Cities was the first German-style game I ever bought, and as such, has a special place in my heart, so please forgive me if I go on a bit! It is for 2 players, and comes in a small box that contains 1 deck of 60 cards, a small board with a space for each of the suits, and the rules.

Lost Cities by the prolific German Games designer, Reiner Knizia, gets over both these. Games take around 10 minutes, it's simple, but there's enough strategy to make you come back for more. Each player is trying to complete expeditions to five lost cities. These expeditions are represtned by 5 suits of 12 cards, well illustrated and easy to understand. each suit has 9 numbered ...  Read the complete review

Easy to learn, engrossing, good theme. "Spiele des Jahres" winner in 1999 Frustrating if someone analyzes the game too much.

Simple, easy and fun cardgame to fill in between more serious games. To random, little skill.
