      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2020
      Verified Purchase
      A lovely little board/card game, which works with 1-4 players.
      It can be tough to win and even when you play it often a wrong set of cards can lose you the game.
      Even being tough doesn’t put you off and quite often just one more go comes up.
      The cards are strong and beautifully drawn, the game is so easy to play and could probably be played with younger children with an adult setting the game up.
      You have to plan and balance your supplies and health to win the game and allows for some lateral thinking and making tough choices .
      Would recommend it for anyone but especially those people like me who enjoy co-op experiences .
      Hope this helps

      A great game that challenges you to the extreme.

      Historically it makes for an interesting premise particularly considering the level of research that has gone into the inclusion of various South American tribes.

      Me and my wife are hardened strategy board game players and have to admit.... this game is NOT EASY! Give it a go, you might do better than us 😉

      5.0 out of 5 stars Make your way to the Lost City of Z.
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 March 2023
      Verified Purchase
      Based on the real life expedition of Major Percival Fawcett to find the Lost City of Z, or El Dorado, the Lost Expedition is a card game that can be played solo, cooperatively or competitively from one to five players.

      The game sees you stocking up on supplys such as ammo and food before making your way through the jungle to reach the end (or try and reach the end) to claim your reward.

      The game starts with you laying cards out that will give you a series of challenges to complete, these take turns in a morning section and then they change slightly as it becomes evening and you try to struggle through hoping to find some respite.

      The order in which you lay out your cards is very important, this could mean the difference between you smartly sneaking through some absolutely horrendous moments present to you and the possibility of rewards such as health, ammo and food.

      Make no mistake, this game is quite difficult especially when playing solo but I suppose a trudge through a creature infested jungle, with diseases and traps wouldn't be a stroll through the park albeit a park that's out to get you at every turn.

      The moments when you feel a sense of absolute dread because you're out of supplies and you're looking at possibly (almost likely) losing one (or more) of your explorers and then seeing a way to get past by playing the cards correctly keeps you on edge and yet you can finally breathe for a moment when you succeed.

      The art and stories that it tells each time through how you play your cards always plays out differently and gives you the feeling of a new adventure each time and adds to sense of being on a journey.

      If you're easily frustrated then this game may not be for you, I've beaten this game only a handful of times and died a lot more but i feel making this game easy would take away from the feeling it gives you and you possibly wouldn't care for it. If you want that sense of adventure and want to bring your friends along with you then I recommend it.

      I seen this recommended online and wanted to get a solo game to play given the circumstances with lockdown. In my first play through I managed with beginners luck to make it to the end with one adventurer and one health left, I thought that the game might not be as hard as advertised. But any other play through since has resulted in the grim deaths of my party members far away from the lost city.

      Game is easy to learn with helpful guides for the symbols used on the cards, great replay ability and so is good value for money. Can pick up and play a few runs and pack away again very easily

      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 November 2017
      Verified Purchase
      This is a great game, but incredibly difficult to win - so hard it gets compulsive.
      Quite simply you select your team, take some health, supplies and ammunition and try to make your way through the forest to The Lost City. Along the way a large deck of cards helps and (usually) hinders you, giving you resources and health (and rare ammunition) but more often taking them away. You have a team of three and if you get anywhere near your goal, you will have sacrificed two of them.
      However adept you are at manipulating the dealt cards, the game always seems to come out on top.
      Illustrations, everything is very good quality, each card is individual and based on what I call the 'Tintin' style colour drawings.
      The game is an excellent solo game as well.
      Worth every penny and one game you don't just roll over.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Great little game
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2020
      Verified Purchase
      I only played it solo so far, and it works very well. I put some thematic music on while I play and I get completely immersed in the expedition. The artwork is beautiful.

      It is hard to win (I think I won around one third of my games), but for the first few games, I was more about looking at the cards and trying things out than actually trying to win.

      It can also be played cooperatively with several other players, or competitevly with two teams (trying to reach El Dorado first). I haven't tried those out yet. I think the cooperative game would be a bit less engaging than solo play (but great if you have young children to play with!), but competitive game might be good to spend some time.

      Lastly, the box is really sturdy and about the size of a thick book.

      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.

      Reviewed in Canada on 29 July 2021

      Very easy to learn, hard to master game in which you lead your team through the jungle to find the lost city of el dorado.
      Basically you've got a some food, some bullets, a bunch of hp and other survival skills, and you deal from the deck of card 6 encounters in the morning, and 6 in the evening.
      These are things you'd encounter in the jungle. For example, if you encounter a snake, you could lose a bullet but gain food. Or if you had no bullet....you'd lose an HP.
      The whole game is oriented around you managing your resources so that you can deal with these encounters, while hoping to get the encounter card that allows you to move forward in your travel.
      Survive long enough to find 8 of these, and you will find El dorado.

      Simple, right? Its very addictive. You try your best to save your resources or your teammate so that you can live to see the next morning. Best yet, takes 1 minute to setup, and 1 minute to take down.

      Great game.
      The cards and components are top quality, and I love the art style - as someone else said, Tintin art style.
      Now can we get a mini version of this game so i can pocket it on the go?

      Presentación muy cuidada, estilo línea clara (tipo Tintin), muy bien tematizado. Mecánica de juego fácil de entender pero muy difícil de superar el reto. Magnífico como solitario. Muy bueno en modo cooperativo (2 jugadores). Unos 30 minutos la partida. Tiene una expansión que espero mantenga el nivel. Quizás cuando se haya jugado mucho la rejugabilidad se resienta algo pero merece desde luego la pena.
