Manufacturer's Description

For the daring and adventerous, there are many lost cities to find. The search can take you to the Himalayas, the Brazilian rain forest, the ever-shifting sands of the desert, ancient volcanoes, and to Neptune's Realm. Of course, you must choose which expeditions to begin and which to leave to others. You may have the opportunity to increase your investment in the search, increasing the rewards for success, but risking more shouold you fail. The player who find the right balance will have successful expeditions and win the game.

Time Well Spent's thoughts

This game has been on of our favorite 2-person games list since it was first released! (we have basically worn the cards out twice!) We can't wait for the new game which will be titled Lost Cities: The Boardgame due out late in 2008.
