About the game
Plan, roll, hope! With a little luck and skill, players will achieve their goals in Lost Cities: Auf Schatzsuche ("Lost Cities: On a Treasure Hunt"). In the game, 2-4 players use tiles to set different expedition routes to take them to remote locations around the world. To succeed, you must also take a risk when rolling — but every player should be on guard because your competitors pursue the same goals.
