    Simple gameplay, great presentation and a finely tuned balance of luck and skill are the elements that made Lost Cities a hit with card- and board-game fans, and this version just makes all of that even better.

    Card games don't get any more addictive than Lost Cities.

    It's not a bad game, but it's not something everyone will enjoy. Price point is slightly high if you consider its lack of depth. Try the free demo first.

    You’re left with a light filler card game that has nowhere near the staying power of the other board game ports that are on XBL.

    As bland as it looks, Lost Cities is a well-designed card game with more depth than most, but this version does little to justify the leap from deck to joypad.

    It may offer a richer gameplay experience than Uno, but Lost Cities just doesn’t have the fast, fun and addictive quality of that particular social card game.

    Put simply, there are deeper tactical outings, more sociable games of skill, and many Live Arcade titles more enjoyable than this. Go and buy one of htose instead. [Issue#34, p.116]
