Mr B’s Christmas Catalogue Review 2018
Our collection of boardgames has been growing in size and popularity since we first introduced them to the shop, and we’re thrilled to offer a such a diverse and exciting selection. A firm favourite to play this year has been the small gem of a card game: ‘The Lost Expedition’. Players work together to survive the Amazon Rainforest, overcoming the dangerous jungle in search El Dorado. We’ve also enjoyed recreating the Tour de France with ‘Flamme Rouge’, endured the stress of real-time battleships with ‘Captain Sonar’ and explored dangerous labyrinths with ‘Dungeons & Dragons’. Come and chat to us for more recommendations and advice!
Description
A card-based survival game for solo, co-operative, or team-based play.
Legendary explorer Percy Fawcett marched deep into the Amazon in search of El Dorado. He was never seen again. Your team is following in his footsteps, but in searching for riches you must be careful not to lose the greatest treasure of all – your life.
Make the best of your food, your ammunition and your health, as you plunge deep into the jungle. Choose your path carefully to ensure you’re ready for the pitfalls which may occur. Play solo or co-operatively to survive the expedition, or play head-to-head to see which group can reach the lost city first.
From award-winning designer Peer Sylvester and acclaimed comic artist Garen Ewing, The Lost Expedition is a game of hard choices on the road to El Dorado.
