About the game

What is Lost Cities: The Board Game

Redevelopment of Lost Cities, first published with altered rules as Keltis, and then published by Rio Grande as Lost Cities: The Board Game with Knizia's original rules and theme.

Reiner Knizia: "The original version that we developed is exactly what Jay [Tummelson, owner of Rio Grande Games] has now published [LCBG]"

Primary differences between Lost Cities: The Board Game and Keltis:

1. In LCBG you play 3 rounds, scoring at the end of all 3 for the monuments you collect. (Normal scoring occurs each round.) In Keltis, you only play 1 round, and score everything each round. This is not just a rule difference, as the scoring is different for the monuments/stones based on the number collected.

Lost Cities de Boardgame, cambia lo suficiente para ser algo más duro que Keltis, decisiones duras en este juego de gestión de mazo y colección de sets. La pega es que algunos tonos de colores son un poco liosos en algunos números. El tema también le pega más.
