Lost Cities How to & Playthrough [2 Player Card Game]
5Lost Cities 2 Player Card Game // Learn how to play Lost Cities, a two player card game by KOSMOS. Through our gameplay, we show you how the game is played and offer strategy tips along the way as well.
If you are looking for fun two player games, we absolutely recommend this one. It's great for couples as well as one-on-one time with your kid. It's also a great gateway game option for playing with a non-gamer.
One round of this game can be played in about 10-15 minutes. You can choose how many rounds you want to play, but the average is three rounds. The person with the highest total score at the end wins the game.
In Lost Cities, you are playing as an adventurer running profitable archaeological expeditions. There are 5 different locations and a set of cards for each of those 5 locations. Each expedition site has 3 handshake cards (which represent investors) and numbered cards 2 through 10.
This is a set collection and hand management game, which means you will need to balance risks, which cards you play and which you try to keep away from your opponent.
You start out with 8 cards each and alternate taking turns until the deck runs out of cards.
On each turn you will take a card from your hand and either play it on an expedition or discard it on the board.
Then you will either draw a card from the facedown deck or pick up the top card from one of the expedition sites on the board.
All cards must be played in ascending order. So once you lay down the Green 5, you cannot play the Green handshakes or 2-4. You can play any green number higher than 5.
Using the handshake investment cards multiples your points for that expedition. This is a great reward if you collect enough of the cards for that site, but it is also a risk if you do not.
Your expeditions start with a value of -20. There is no penalty if you do not play cards to a site. However, in order to have profitable expeditions, the cards collected must have a total sum of at least 20.
Understanding how the scoring works is important for knowing your strategy throughout the game, but we love the FREE scoring app called Assistant Lost Cities. It makes it easier to score quickly and keeps track of the rounds.
