Number of rounds in Lost Cities

Post by SpecularRain »

Hi!

I searched the forum for "lost cities" and found 0 posts, so I assume this hasn't been discussed before.

Lost Cities are played over 3 rounds. But here, a game ends after the first round. I haven't found any setting for this?

I understand if perhaps many players play Lost Cities over a single round only, and I don't mind catering to that. But that really should be an option imho. If it's not possible to make it optional, I think the game should be three rounds, as per the rulebook.

Have I just missed a setting somewhere, or is it truly only possible to play a reduced game here on BGA? :(

I agree. Over a single game the sheer randomness of card draws can sink you, so it is a game where you need to play 3 in a row and add the scores to determine who actually played better. Also, as the OP says, this is how it is in the rulebook.

Technical point: the English rules state

So, it is not definitely 3, but usually 3. And, yes, this should be an option for the game.

Now you can choose between 1 and 3 rounds.

Please also enable point summary per round at the end of the game. It would be nice to have a graph of the scores over time with finer granularity (per move) as well but that's not as iportant as point summary per round.
