Lost Temple (2011)

About this game

In Lost Temple, the players are explorers looking for a mysterious lost temple. To find it, they must cross the jungle and get help from the indigenous people. The first player to reach the temple on the last space of the track wins the game. The game uses a character selection rule similar to Faidutti's Citadels, and the game includes nine different characters: Shaman, Thief, Seer, Priest, Elder, Craftsman, Scout, Canoe and Child. In the dense jungle of southeast Asia you must take your chances and start your journey. As an explorer, you will cross the jungle and ask help from the local people. But can you outwit your opponents and claim the discovery of the Lost Temple?

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
