Lost Cities the Card Game with 6th Expedition

Lost Cities: The Card Game – 6th Expedition enriches the classic two-player card duel with a strategic sixth expedition color. This refined edition offers fresh tactical depth and elegant gameplay—perfect for quick but impactful battle of wits.

Stake your bets. Venture wisely. Choose when to launch expeditions, place wager multipliers, or block your opponent—all across six unique paths to discovery and triumph.

How the Game Works

Players alternate playing a card into one of six expedition stacks in ascending order, or discarding to color-matched discard piles. Wager cards, played first, multiply your final score if your expedition goes well. After each play, draw from either the deck or a discard pile.

Once the deck is depleted, score each expedition: sum the card values, subtract the 20-point launch cost, apply wager multipliers, and add a completion bonus if applicable. Play three rounds and tally your total—highest score wins with richer choices thanks to the sixth expedition.
