## Description

Thames & Kosmos Lost Cities: The Original Card Game with 6th Expedition | Strategic Card Game for 2 Players | Game Night for Kids & Adults Age 10+ | Fun Adventure & Exploration Game | Excellent Gift : desertcart.co.uk: Toys & Games

Review: Great two player card game - Simple and easy to learn card game where the players have to create tricks of their chosen expedition (up to 6 different ones). Match cards of the same colour in ascending order to gain points. Wager cards can be used at the beginning of each expedition to either double, triple or quadruple your final score. However if you don't make a score of over 20 your can end up with a minus value as the expeditions have a cost of 20 to start. Tricks of 8 cards or more give a bonus of 20 points on top. Holding onto cards your opponent needs is a good strategy to winning as once they have played a card of a certain number a lower value card cannot be played. The discard piles for each colour can be a good way of storing cards you might want to use later as you can only hold 8 cards at once. Don't wait too long though as once the draw pile is empty the game is over and the scores are added up.
