Use your cards to venture down expedition routes that take you to far-flung, mysterious corners of the Earth. Your goal is to plan the routes in such a way that they bring you the greatest possible fame. If you are especially daring, you will also wager on the success of your expeditions.

Only the player who has collected the most fame at the end of the game will be the winner.

What's the game like?
Fans looking for more ways to enjoy the world of Lost Cities should check out the two other games in the franchise: Lost Cities: The Card Game is the original two-player version where, rather than bidding on cards to start expeditions, each player has a hand of cards that only they can see and use to embark on their journeys. Lost Cities: The Board Game is a four-person version that challenges each player to guide a team of explorers down expedition paths on the game board, collecting artifacts and victory points along the way.
