Lost Cities Card Game. 

Lost Cities is an award winning two player card game. Two explorers embark on research journeys to remote corners of the Earth: the Egyptian desert, the Himalayan mountains, a mysterious volcano, the Central American rainforest and the depths of the ocean. 

As the cards are played the expedition routes take shape and the explorers earn points. The most daring adventurers make bets on the success of their expeditions. 

The object of the game is to gain points by mounting profitable archaeological adventures to the different sites represented by the colored suits of cards. The player with the highest score after three rounds wins.
