Renegade Game Studios Search for Planet X Sequel, Lost Species Deduction Strategy Logic Puzzle Board Game for Adults, 1-4 Players, 60-75 min

Fantastic deduction game - I highly recommend!!

Excellent game, a bit hard to teach. My family had googly eyes by the time we had played a few rounds. It was my second time playing when I tried to teach them, so it came a bit easier for me. I love that there is an app that I can play by myself if I can’t find other players.

My husband and I love this game (we are avid board game players). We have played it many times just the two of us, but have also played with friends and they love it too. We like this game more than The Search for Planet X. The board and things they added make it more fun and re-playable. Love it!

I never write reviews, but I know this is a new game and it deserves some love! This game arrived today, we played it tonight and LOVED IT! We’re big fans of The Search for Planet X, and I didn’t think there were any improvements to be made to that game, but Lost Species surpasses its predecessor. This game is smart, comprehensive, and has endless replay ability. The companion app is great and makes playing a breeze. There is a single player option which we’re excited to check out as well. Buy this game. It will elevate every game night you have and leave you excited to play it again!

This is a terrific game I have been waiting a year for. But Game Boarders kept me posted on the game's release. They responded to every update request and I got the game as soon as it was available to ship. Terrific customer support

The rule book was not placed well when packed, ended up with a big fold throughout the entire rule book. The game components are pretty well made except for the "ship" you are to construct yourself. Some of the cuts are too short so the front of the ship could barely lay flat. This slight annoyance aside, the game is pretty good. If playing solo, you heavily relies on the app. However after a run which I had to pause midway, I return to find that the AI has poofed from my game. I ended up having to start a new game - a complete waste of time. Subsequently, I only play via the web app, no dangers of the app pausing/shutting etc. The devs should really include a save option for mid-games. How hard can that be to implement? AI on hard mode seems to get 8 clues (according to tests on BGG) which is human beginner level. It would be good if we can set the AI to get as many clues as we like, similar to how we pick our difficulty mode/number of clues.

Ests es un juego de deducción que te hace pensar en casa gusta mucho ojalá estuviera en inglés

Das Prinzip ist sehr gleich. Wer sich aber bei Planet X mehr Bedeutung für das Lokalisieren anderer Dinge als X gewünscht hat, wird hier bedingt. Ich denke, ich finde die festen Logikprämissen hier besser, aber da bin ich mir noch nicht absolut sicher. Durch variierende Lost-Species Bedingungen wird mehr Variantion eingebracht. Zudem kann man mit Punktekarte bedingt zusätzlich Punkte holen. Allerdings halte ich die Tipps/ Hinweise aus der Stadt (bei Planet X Forschungen) für deutlich unübersichtlicher und manchmal sagen sie absolut gar nichts aus. Dadurch dass man sich hier frei auf der Fläche bewegen kann, wurden es logistisch schwieriger Dinge wie Studien einzuleiten. Der Weg drumherum funktioniert problemlos, aber dadurch gibt es mehr Einzelteile. Neben dem extrem übersichtlichen Planet X ist es somit etwas unübersichtlicher und man muss mehr aufbauen. Aber insgesamt ist das immernoch alles sehr wenig, im Gegensatz zu fast jedem Spiel dieser Güteklasse. Wenn ich jemanden Lost Species oder Planet -X zeigen müsste, würde ich zum Start Planet-X nehmen, da es im ersten Moment einfacher zu verstehen ist.
