Why It's On The List

• The most straightforward of the Lost Cities/Keltis family - and incredibly portable.

Tips & Tricks:

• When playing with 3 or 4 players, don't start lines in all five colors.
• It's easy to forget about blarney stones in your first game - don't. The penalty for going short on them is steep.
• In German, the name means "the way of the stones." The "Mitbringspiel" is a rough equivalent of our "travel games" - it literally means "bring with game".

Extras

• It's not that I dislike Lost Cities or Keltis or Lost Cities: The Board Game... it's just that I like this one so much better.
• This was republished as Lost Cities To Go in 2018... but I've never actually seen a physical copy of it.
• Since the publication of Der Weg der Steine, there have been other very good Lost Cities family games... my favorite of the newer bunch is the Lost Cities Roll'n'Write.
• This is the fifth of seven (7!) games designed by Reiner Knizia on this countdown.
