Description
The Lost Ruins of Arnak: The Lost Expedition is the long-awaited second expansion to the award-winning game The Lost Ruins of Arnak. Designed by Elwen and Min, it includes new components that add to the base title to multiply the strategic possibilities available to players.
In The Lost Ruins of Arnak, each player controls an exploration team that must unravel the mysteries of the island. Combining the mechanics of worker placement and mall building, players will have to gather resources, face powerful beasts and advance in the investigation of a lost temple.
This new expansion is meant to be used in two ways: by adding a bunch of components to the base game, which allows for solo or group matches of up to 4 players, or to play in the campaign mode, which includes six chapters to enjoy in alone or in pairs, cooperatively.
Among the new components added by The Lost Expedition are 34 new cards (21 objects and 13 artifacts), 8 idols, 5 sites, 4 assistants, 3 guardians, 2 expedition leaders (to combine with the first expansion of the game or to get a taste of leader dynamics, if you’ve never played with this module) and two new alternate temples, which change the central board and the research dynamics that take place with the magnifying glass and notebook.
The two new leaders are the journalist and the mechanic. Each one has a specific set of rules, which alter the game slightly: the journalist will receive more resources depending on the number of articles he publishes (and he will be able to overcome the magnifying glass with the notebook in the research track) and the mechanic will have an assistant special, the monkey Rusty, as well as special gear that will give you benefits when exploring the island.
The main new feature of The Lost Expedition expansion are the two new available temples: the Temple of the Cataract and the Temple of the Tree, which are used during the campaign, but also add variability to the base game matches . The waterfall temple hides mysteries behind the curtains of water, from shortcuts to even a new archeological site. For its part, the temple of the tree will give the players the possibility to perform ancestral rituals using idols.
Get ready to discover the new mysteries that await in Arnak! As seasoned explorers you will have to sharpen your wits to overcome new challenges, in never-before-seen combinations of cards and components. No two games will ever be the same again with this second expansion. Take your game to another level!
