Why I backed The Search for Lost Species

Watch “Why I backed The Search for Lost Species,” a board game review for The Search for Lost Species from Home Gamer Dad on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Home Gamer Dad on YouTube:

Hello Family! In this world of ours, thousands of plants and animals are documented but not seen for many years. In the game Search for the Lost Species, we are on the hunt for such species in order to protect them from going extinct. Personally, I'm just getting into deduction games, and I realized I REALLY like that type of game. Search for Lost Species is the follow up or sequel or whatever to Search for Planet X, another game that I was unfamiliar with prior to this Kickstarter. Both use an app on your phone to give a random game board every time you play, which is just fantastic! It combines the feel-good setup and look of a board game with technology, a combo I'm also just starting to get into. So check out these reasons why I backed Search for the Lost Species as I guide you through the campaign page and hopefully help you out in choosing whether you also wish to back this project or not. Always remember, this is all just my opinion. The way I see a game and what type of entertainment it will bring me WILL be different for you, and that's okay. If you agree, tell me why. Same for if you disagree, no wrong opinions here. Enjoy this stroll through the Kickstarter page and don't forget to subscribe for more from me, the Home Gamer Dad!

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
