Product Description
Each player leads a five-member group of four adventurers and a researcher on the search for lost cities. To reach each city, the players must travel a separate path nine steps long.

This is my first game review I have ever written. When I saw that noone had reviewed this game yet, I thought I should write one. I have over 70 Board Games and love looking for new ones!
I did some homework on the 2 player version and found out that it was a must buy game. I wanted to get it, but we have game night about twice a week at our house with at least one other couple and thought that if they could make this game 4 player I would get it…they did!
We have had this game only for a couple of days, and my wife and I have already played it about 7 times and LOVE IT. Our other friends have come over to play it as well and they love it too. The board is beautiful (visually appealing games are always a bonus) and the game-play is unique with little pieces that are well made and also look good. The great thing is that the game is just as much fun 2 player as it is 3 or 4 player (4 is max).
The game is played in 3 “expedition rounds”. The basis of the game is laying down cards in order – lowest to highest, or highest to lowest to move your explorers (5 in all) along trails that are 9 steps long (all the steps have point values on them). Along the way the explorers will pick up artefacts and money that they will use to combine with the money that is awarded when each round of play comes to an end. One of the things we like about this game is that all the games we played so far have been very close scores at the end. We love games that one person can’t run away with the game and take all the joy of everyone else feeling left out.
The game honestly takes about 5-10 minutes to learn how to play and about 5 minutes to set up each round of “expeditions”. If you love games that are easy to learn how to play, but are still a challenge to win and have a huge amount of “replay-ability”…buy this game, you won’t be dissapointed! We play tons of games and already have plenty of favorites, but this one jumped right up there into the favorites list.
Thank you for reading my first review ever…sorry it was so long,

This game is great. It’s way fun playing it with only two players, which I have found that most games are not as fun played with only two players. It’s also a blast with a group. Do yourself a favor and get this game! I would also recommend this version over the 2 player card game version.

This is one of the best games I have played in a while. It is great to play with 4 people but it was even better with 2 players. This is wonderful for the whole family.

This game is lots of fun. A huge improvement over the card game experience. Plays well with two, three and four players. The game has lots of small bits which may become a chore to keep track of.

I am not a gamer, but I played this at my friends house and had to buy it. It has the perfect balance of skill with luck. I like games that have some strategy and this has that. I would highly suggest getting this game!
