In order to save these species, we must first find them again. The Search for Lost Species is a game about this real-world search. You are scientists on an expedition to find one of those Lost Species. While there are Lost Species all around the world, this game focuses on several Lost Species in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The organization Re:wild has compiled a list of Lost Species around the world at www.rewild.org/lost-species. They engage in expeditions with numerous partners to find these Lost Species, and encourage others to conduct their own expeditions to rediscover these amazing Lost Species. In this deduction game, you'll work to locate these lost species and put them back on the map! Features: Follow up to the hit game The Search for Planet X, one of the 2021 SXSW Tabletop Games of the Year! Use logic and deduction to search for species thought to be extinct. Report your sightings through the free app to determine if they are confirmed Double-sided board provides two different island maps to explore. 6 different Lost Species to find!

You can pry them out of my cold dead hands. 4.5 - Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc. 4.0 - Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience. 3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad. 3.0 - A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn't lose any sleep. 2.5 - A game I'd play again , but will never suggest it myself 2.0 - A game I don't want to play again 1.5 - A game I can't find any reason to recommend 1.0 - A game that is just bad.

About The Search for Lost Species, from BoardGameGeek:

Thousands of plants and animals have been discovered but haven't been seen for decades and could be on the brink of extinction. In order to save these species, we must first find them again. The Search for Lost Species is a game about this real-world search. You are scientists on an expedition to find one of those lost species, focusing on those in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The organization Re:wild has compiled a list of lost species around the world. They engage in expeditions with numerous partners to find these Lost Species, and encourage others to conduct their own expeditions to rediscover these amazing Lost Species. In this deduction game, you'll work to locate these lost species and put them back on the map! The game play changes from The Search for Planet X include: Players use a combination of deduction and movement to narrow down the possible habitats of the lost species. Players can use a special expedition action to search a specific habitat for a lost species. Incorporates cards that make the game asymmetric and provide more variability. Features: Report your sightings through the free app to determine if they are confirmed. Double-sided board provides two different island maps to explore. 6 different Lost Species to find! -description from the publisher
