Cardinal Industries Lost - The Game

My daughter and I LOVE this game. Getting started was a bit rocky, and you do have to just agree to interpret certain portions of the rules. Allegedly there is a website that is very helpful for clarification, but for now we've enjoyed playing trial and error with the rules to bend them to our own preferences. For example, we weren't sure if the characters could circle back to the same location on the same turn. We've played rounds where they can, and rounds where they can't. It makes for two very different games, and makes different strategies necessary. I love both ways. Honestly, there are times when things are confusing, and we've chosen to embrace that the game is meant to confuse just as the show was. I'm not sure why people are so unwilling to give this a chance, but me and my 11-year-old have caught on and tweaked it to our own version of perfection... almost.There are a couple negatives. The game seems like it was made during season two or just after. Having Ana Lucia as a character, but no Desmond or Ben (etc.) has really bothered us. Some of the power ratings on the characters we have disagreed with. We do, however, love the game enough that we've decided to buy another game and use it to create some more characters.I'd technically give the game 4-1/2 stars, but since that isn't an option, I rounded up! If you love Lost and have an attention span of more than a few minutes, definitely give this a try!!

This game came exactly on time and as advertised with minor scuffing on the box. The instructions had a tear in them, but for a used item (which is no longer available at retail) it was a good deal.

This game is not for the feint of heart. Only attempt to play if you are a true fan of the series and have tremendous knowledge of the story line. If you are not well versed, it can be frustrating. My family played this game over the summer and had many hours of fun...of course, we are all avid fans!

Was a great gift.

The description was a total lie. It came scratched up, dented and with a sticker over a place where someone wrote with a sharpie $4.00. I paid $12.99.It was taped up with tape that damaged the tin and when I opened it the contents where just thrown in and huge mess. The description said good condition only opened once and a collectable. If that means a piece of yard sale junk then then I guess I got just that!

Okay, let's just get this out of the way first. This game lost a star because the directions are horribly written. If they would come out with a completely revised edition of the rules (and throw in a few more plastic boxes for the character pieces), it would be perfect. In the mean time, you can consult the official website for expanded instructions as well as downloadable templates to keep your characters and progress organized. That website has been an invaluable resource.That being said, the hubby and I cannot get enough of this game!! Yes, it can be frustrating to learn, but once you get the hang of everything, you can play this game over and over and over and never have the same game twice. Also, different characters win in different ways, so your end goal can change from game to game! Sometimes the game lasts 15 minutes, sometimes 3 hours. You can control the length of the game by adjusting the board size to your taste.This is not really a "family game night" or a quick, easy game of Sorry! or Uno. It's a pretty complex game with a lot of nuances, but WELL worth the effort!!!

I love 'Lost' and I feel like this game really gets the point of the show. It is a little bit dated since it's clear that it was made either during or right after season 2, but still, a very well executed board game adaptation of a great show.

This is so bad!!..I'm a huge fan of LOST, but I don't what they were thinking of, when they made this..I have lots of LOST collectors items, so this will just be put on the shelf and never played with again..The only reason I gave it 2 stars, instead of 1, was for the cool metal box it comes in.
