In Lost Cities, two players compete to lead archaeological expeditions to five mysterious destinations: the Himalayas, rainforest, desert, volcano, and underwater realm. Each expedition requires players to play cards of the corresponding colour in ascending numerical order. You can begin an expedition whenever you choose, but committing to a route too early can be dangerous if you cannot play enough cards to make it profitable.
Players can also use wager cards to increase the potential value of an expedition. These cards can multiply your eventual score, but they also multiply your losses if the expedition fails to generate enough points. This creates the central tension of the game: deciding how confident you are before investing further in an expedition.
Every turn gives you a simple but meaningful decision—play a card to one of your expeditions or discard it, then draw a replacement. As you watch the cards being played and discarded, you can begin to work out which expeditions your opponent is pursuing and which cards they might be waiting for. After three rounds, the player with the highest overall score wins.
