{"product_id":"lost-cities-the-board-game","title":"Lost Cities - The Board Game","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlayers play cards to move their playing pieces along stone paths. There are cards with 5 different colors\/symbols, each corresponding to one path; in addition, each card shows a number (0-10, twice each). In each color, each player can play his cards either ascending or descending. Like Lost Cities, it's better to concentrate on a few paths, since the last spaces grants high points, but ending early gives negative ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The player in turn plays one card (out of a hand of 8), or discards one. He moves the corresponding playing piece on the path. Many of the spaces have a token that grants some bonus - either direct points (counted on the scoring track), an extra move on a path, or wish stones that are needed at game end to avoid negative points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The game ends when a total of 5 playing pieces have reached the 7th space (or more) on their paths. Now, scoring happens:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Pieces which only moved 1-3 steps give negative points (-4, -3, -2).\u003cbr\u003e\n Pieces with 4+ steps grant points (1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10).\u003cbr\u003e\n One piece of each player is higher and scores double.\u003cbr\u003e\n Fewer than two wish stones grants negative points (-3 \/ -4)\u003cbr\u003e\n 5+ wish stones yield a bonus of 10 points.\u003cbr\u003e\n All this is added to the points scored during the game\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Thames \u0026 Kosmos","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":54314356277585,"sku":"Z-THKO-696175","price":32.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"A Grade","offer_id":54314356310353,"sku":"OUTLET-Z-THKO-696175-A","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/9097\/1729\/files\/Lost-Cities-The-Board-Game.jpg?v=1784026931","url":"https:\/\/www.toystreet.co.uk\/products\/lost-cities-the-board-game","provider":"Toy Street","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
