Lost Cities: Rivals

Players bid coins to acquire colored expedition cards and build ascending runs in up to five expedition lanes. Each turn either reveals a new face-up card from a shared pile or initiates an auction for the visible cards; auctions resolve by raising or passing, with the winner paying coins to take and play cards or discard one and then adding a display card. Wager cards increase an expedition’s final value and are assigned before or during play. Rounds proceed through shuffled card piles, with coins from the table redistributed when a pile empties; scoring counts footprint values on numbered cards, bonuses for completed expeditions, and remaining coins.

Lost Cities Rivals es un nuevo juego de cartas para la franquicia Lost Cities/Keltis/Exploradores del Maestro Knizia, en esta nueva versión aparte de tener que crear escaleras la carta se obtienen en subasta, cada turno tenemos que tomar la decisión de sacar una carta al display o subastar el lote de cartas que hay sobre la mesa. Lo interesante de esta versión es que en la subasta el jugador que la gana decide que cartas añade y si lo desea elimina una carta del juego, lo que hace que a veces te veas en la obligación de pujar para evitar que te quien una carta que pueda darte puntos. Un juego con decisiones ligeras, bastante interacción y muy entretenido.
