LOST ONES
You’ll feel a little lost
Designer: Gordon Alford | Publisher: Greenbrier Games
In the fantasy narrative adventure Lost Ones, players find themselves seemingly the only survivors of battle, stranded in the unknown lands. Armed with two storybooks and a stack of map tiles, they need to find a way for their characters to escape the dream lands before it is too late. They will need to explore each tile, uncovering its secrets while fighting monsters and facing other challenges to survive.
As a cooperative experience, Lost Ones is merciless. Your game ends if you run out of time, if you get stuck on the tiles and are unable to escape, if you die in a monster fight, run out of your action cards (which also act as you ‘health bar’) or perish at the hands of the game’s Big Bad the Nightmare. Luckily, there are also different ways to win – various tiles and challenges – which encourage multiple playthroughs of the game.
