About the game
Patrol: Lost! is a Public Domain board game with specified rules and components but without a specified theme. Numerous skins or thematic versions have been made. The game builds the board as it progresses by placing and removing hexagon tiles. It's for two players, one takes control of the "Good Guys" and the other player controls the "Bad Guys". Players move their pawns around the board, one player trying to reach the End tile and the other trying to eliminate the opponents pawns before they reach the End tile. Combat is resolved by rolling D6's with modifiers being applied. It can be played solo if the player wishes.
