Review “Definitely check this one out! Recipient of The Dice Tower Seal of Approval.” ―Zee Garcia, The Dice Tower“[The Lost Expedition] blends compelling challenge with beautiful components and a satisfactory narrative. It's one that's easy to pull off the shelf and fully engage. How often can you contract hook worms and fill your boot with nasty insects while sitting in the comfort of a beaten up leather sofa?” ―Charlie Theel, Geek & Sundry“Tricky and distinctive. I liked it.” ―Eric Summerer, The Dice Tower“. . . engaging and intriguing.” ―Dave Taylor, Go Fatherhood“The Lost Expedition is definitely a keeper. It's a relaxing adventure tabletop game with a clever resource management mechanism.

Review: Fun, quick and easy to set up. - I love that this is a solo game. My 6 and 4 year old love to help me. It’s really hard to win and there is alot going on and a lot of stratagy in such a simple game. If you need a game to play by yourself this is THE GAME TO PLAY! it can also be played as 2 player, I’ve only done that a couole of times. My boys love the graphics on the cards. They have a snake and a jungle cat that can give you meat or injure you. They have natives that can be bad, good or indifferent depending on how you play the game. Each game is never the same so you’ve never get bored of it. I have one kid in carge of injuring the people, eating or gaining food and the bullets. The other is in charge of pulling the cards and we decide together how we want to play the cards. We all enjoy it.
Review: One of my favs - I have a pocket sized collection of games, and love Curious Expedition. This is my traditional way of playing it so to speak. It makes me very happy. I wish sometimes there were either more interaction or less punishing mechanics. You can add that with the expansion but I don't think it'll fit in the box right. Likewise, the tokens just go in a baggie bc otherwise they fly everywhere. The box is beau-ti-ful and opens like a fancy box of chocolates or something. It's a good game, but I would look up play-throughs and see if you'd actually like to play it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really beautiful. Seems difficult.
*by S***. on November 23, 2021*

I've only made one attempt to reach the lost city of Z. It didn't end well. The art in this game is fantastic. The theme is cool. You play as a group of 3 explorers trying to trek through a perilous jungle and reach Z. But the jungle is harsh. There are many dangers in your path. The trick is in selecting the right cards to play, and in an order that you can survive. I've only played solo mode, but there is also a cooperative mode, and a competitive mode. The cards are huge (80x120mm), which is nice, but means that some people will find it difficult to shuffle. It also takes more table space. But the art is top notch Rin Tin Tin style, so big is nice.... But maybe they should release a pocket version? I can't really comment on the balance after only a single play. Can you usually win with skill? I don't know. Maybe luck plays a large role? I will return to the review if I ever find out. So far, it's fun. It is also really easy to scale. If you find it too difficult, there are several ways to make it easier, from making the path shorter to giving yourself more food, ammo, health, and/or explorers. So I'm saying that it doesn't have to be hard if you don't mind cheating a little.
