The Lost Expedition
A brutal jungle survival card game where rationing food, bullets and hope decides if you find Fawcett or just his fate.
Who it's for
Solo gamers and small groups who like their survival games short, mean and immediately worth a rematch.
Not for you if…
You dislike swingy, luck-influenced setbacks, because one bad card here can undo a nearly perfect run.

About this game
The Lost Expedition drops you into the Amazon on the trail of Percy Fawcett, the explorer who marched in looking for El Dorado and was never seen again. You and your team ration food, ammunition and health card by card, choosing a path through the jungle that determines which dangers you're braced for and which blindside you. Play cooperatively to survive together, solo against the jungle itself, or head-to-head to see who claws out first. It plays fast and mean, the kind of fifty minutes where one bad river crossing undoes three good decisions, and everyone leaves already plotting a better route next time.
