From BoardGameGeek
In this competitive exploration game, players lead an expedition into a lost city hidden deep within the jungles of Honduras. The expedition splits into two groups: explorers navigating the jungle on foot and drones mapping the terrain from above. Players move explorers, collecting jungle tokens as you land on them. But their point values are hidden until the end of the game. When the expedition concludes, token values are revealed based on the final positions of both explorers and drones. Careful planning and smart positioning throughout the game determine the winner. -description from the publisher
