Description Edit | History

In Lost Cities, a card game from the Kosmos two-player series, the object is to mount profitable expeditions to one or more of the five different lost cities. Card play is 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.

Rules are included for a four-player team game that requires two copies to play.

After hundreds of plays, this is the format we like best for keeping score. It could be useful for some others. Cheers. (requires a color printer though) (4 complete games per page) (the star/explosion shape is for the grand total)

3 LC Dance Manager Retheme
After drawing inspiration from the various retheme in BGG, I decided that it's the perfect gift idea for my non gamer girl friend who is very into dance. Sure enough, she loved this retheme alot. ok, i confess, she love it more for the pictures rather than the game play. I have no luck in converting her into a gamer with this, but at least she play this and pandemic with me now. better than nothing! Hope that this will help those guys will girlfriends who love dancing too!
