About the game
Prepare for your next great adventure! Quatermain: Lost Cities adds a new way to gain wealth by defeating the enemies guarding the entrance to ancient cities deep in the African interior. However, only the explorer to discover the most lost cities will be able to score them at the end of the game. The expansion adds more replayability to Quatermain with additional adventure cards, a new gun, and new animals. These all follow the existing game rules. It also adds the namesake "Lost City" cards to the game. When somebody defeats whatever is guarding a lost city, they claim this new form of wealth card. Quatermain: Lost Cities continues to support solo rules, along with standard rules for 2-4 players. A major focus of the expansion is on hunting and defeating enemies at long range. A new gun is available to aid in this endeavor, and both the lost city cards and new animals will reward players who are able to impact things at long range. —description from the publisher
