About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a race against time and your friends in Lost Legacy: The Starship! This super-fast card game for 2 to 4 players puts you in the shoes of a space explorer searching for a legendary artifact. With only 16 cards in the entire deck, every decision matters. On your turn, you draw a card and choose one of the two in your hand to play, activating its effect. The catch is that you always only have two cards in hand, so each play is crucial and can reveal more about what you have or what others possess.
The game gets tense when the deck runs out. That's when the investigation phase begins, where everyone uses the information from played cards and the investigation speed of their hand cards to try and guess who holds the "Lost Legacy" card. This mysterious card could be with a player or hidden in the "Ruins." If you correctly guess who has it, you win! But beware, if no one can unravel the mystery, everyone loses together. It's a game of bluffing, memory, and pure deduction, where one mistake can cost you the victory. And the best part? You can mix this set with others from the Lost Legacy series to increase the fun and the player count up to six, while keeping only one "Lost Legacy" card in play. Perfect to take with you and play anywhere!

Quick answers before you buy
What is the average game time?
Games are super fast, usually lasting around 10 minutes, just as the series name suggests!
How many players can participate?
The base game is for 2 to 4 players. But if you mix it with other Lost Legacy series sets, you can play with up to 6 players!
Is the game complicated to learn?
Not at all! The rules are very simple, and you learn by playing. It's perfect for those who want something quick and straightforward.
Do I need to know English to play?
The text on the cards is minimal and easy to memorize or translate. The language dependency is very low.
What happens if no one guesses the Lost Legacy card?
That's the thrill (and the despair!): everyone loses together. It's a risk that's part of the game's tension.
