Lost Cities Board Game

In this thrilling Lost Cities board game, players use cards to move playing pieces along stone paths. There are 5 - colored/symbol cards, each tied to a specific path, and each card shows a number from 0 - 10 (two of each). Players can play cards in ascending or descending order for each color. It's smart to focus on a few paths as the last spaces offer high scores, but ending early means negative points. Each turn, players either play one of their 8 - card hands or discard a card and move the relevant piece. Many spaces have tokens that give bonuses like direct points, an extra path move, or wish stones to avoid end - game negative points. The game wraps up when 5 playing pieces reach the 7th space or beyond on their paths.

How to play: First, get familiar with the 5 - colored/symbol cards and their corresponding paths. Each turn, you can choose to play a card from your hand of 8 to move a playing piece or discard a card. Try to play your cards in ascending or descending order for each color. It's a good idea to focus on a few paths to get high scores. Remember, the last spaces on the paths give you high points, but ending the game too early will get you negative points. When you land on a space with a token, you'll get a bonus like direct points, an extra move, or wish stones. The game ends when 5 playing pieces reach the 7th space or more on their paths. Things to note: Keep an eye on the other players' moves and adjust your strategy. Also, make sure to use the wish stones at the end of the game to avoid negative points. Maintenance: Keep the cards and playing pieces in a dry and clean place. You can use a soft cloth to clean them if they get dirty.
