Get ready for a wild adventure in Lost Temple! In this thrilling jungle race, you and your friends take on the roles of fearless explorers searching for a legendary temple hidden deep in Asia. To get there, you'll need to cross dense wilderness, perhaps even enlist the help of the local people, and, of course, outsmart your rivals.

The game features a cool character selection mechanic, reminiscent of Citadels, where each character has unique abilities. There are nine different characters at your disposal, such as the Shaman, Thief, Seer, Priest, Elder, Craftsman, Scout, Canoe, and Child. The right choice could be the key to getting ahead!

The goal is simple: be the first to step onto the final space of the board, the Lost Temple. But don't be fooled, the path is full of dangers and twists. The order of actions can change, and player interaction is key to success. It's a fierce competition where strategy and a bit of luck will lead you to glory. Perfect for those who enjoy adventure and exploration games with a racing and interactive twist.
