Description

Description from the publisher:

Legendary explorer Percy Fawcett marched deep into the Amazon in search of El Dorado. He was never seen again. Your team has gone in search of him, but now you hope to escape the jungle with the greatest treasure of all: your life.

Make the best of your food, your ammunition, and your health in The Lost Expedition as you plunge deep into the jungle. Choose your path carefully to ensure you're ready for the pitfalls that may occur. Play solo or cooperatively to survive the expedition, or play in teams to see which group can escape the jungle first.

Errata:
In the 'head-to-head' rules, the diagram shows more cards than can legally be played. The rules-as-written are correct.

Quotes (from this video)
  • these games tend to fly off the shelf because they just work so well they have few components so setup is super easy
  • I love the coziness of this design and how quickly it can spiral completely out of control
  • The Twist here is that police meeples are being randomly placed in locations as well and at the end of the round your workers need to be able to trace a clear path back to your hideout
  • Cascadia feels super casual and when you're feeling bad a nature theme is exactly what the doctor ordered
  • it's my ultimate comfort food game for so many reasons
  • everything about this game is quirky from its theme to its artwork to the gameplay which is really unlike anything I've played before
