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 fourth of seven (7!) games designed by Reiner Knizia on this countdown.
