The Search for Lost Species

Players act as scientists leading expeditions to rediscover species that haven’t been seen in decades, focusing on habitats in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Gameplay combines deduction and map movement: players gather clues to narrow possible habitats, move across a double-sided island board, and use a special expedition action to search specific locations for a target species. Asymmetric cards add variability to player powers and objectives, and an optional app lets players report sightings to check confirmations. The box includes multiple lost-species targets and scenario variety across two island maps.

    I think the Search for Planet X is far superior (and you definitely don't need both). It is more elegant and lets you focus on the core deduction puzzle... that is what one is here for! Species clutters the same game with a bunch of distractions like cards, board movement etc which are not very interesting/ exciting as hundreds of other games have these mechanisms already. I personally like the theme here more, but Planet X wins over all any day!

Regelvragen

Beantwoord vanuit het spelregelboek door de regelassistent van Ludoya.

Does a mountain block adjacency — can animals or surveys go “across” a mountain?

No — areas separated by a mountain are not considered adjacent and mountains block placement/adjacency across them (see Rulebook pp8, 24).

What's the difference between Survey by Foot and Survey by Boat — when should I use each and how much time do they take?

Survey by Foot and Survey by Boat are separate actions with different valid target areas and time costs: use Foot for land/adjacent inland areas and Boat for water/coastal routes; each action's rules and time costs are listed with examples (Rulebook p13).

How do camera traps work — do they use an action and what do they reveal?

Setting a camera trap is an action that consumes time and lets you check a specific area for animals per the camera trap procedure; follow the placement and resolution steps on Rulebook pp14–15.

When and how do we place and confirm sighting tokens — can opponents confirm or contest my sighting?

Sighting tokens are handled during the Sighting Phase: players report and place sighting tokens, others may view/confirm them, and then tokens are resolved with correct sightings scored and incorrect ones penalized (see Rulebook pp18–20).

Can the Lost Species be located in an area that has no animals (a truly empty area)?

No — the rules treat 'truly empty' areas specially and the Lost Species will not be placed in an area that is truly empty; consult the Lost Species / truly empty areas rules for details (Rulebook p9).

How does the time track work and how do I advance or activate my Expedition Leader?

Actions move your pawn along the time track according to their time costs; when you reach Expedition Leader spaces you activate or advance your leader as described in the time track and Phase 3 rules (see Rulebook pp10, 16–17).
