Matthew BaileyGame 3 of the “Games that Jack(8.) and I played at the UKGE” is “Lost Seas”
“Lost Seas” is a grid based tile arrangement game from Blue Orange that turned into one of my surprises of the show.
You start the game by laying out rule tiles to form the titles on the X and Y axis (think Excel) on a blank 4X4 grid.
Exactly 11 objects
Points per sets of 3 different objects
No Octopi present
More rocks than whirlpools
You then take turns drawing Carcassonne sized tiles from a pile and trying to then place them in your grid so that you fulfill as many of the conditions in both axies as possible.
After all of the tiles have been laid you add up your score based on what you acheived. Its a simple concept but it works really well and I really enjoyed this as did Jack and this instantly went onto the “to buy” pile.
We played it about 3 times in the “family zone” and probably would have played again had there not been so much else to do.
Great simple game that while simple to play requires a lot of thought.
