How to score Lost Cities

  1. Play one of the three expeditions.
  2. For each expedition, add card values and subtract 20. Multiply by one plus the number of investment cards played.
  3. Add 20 more if that expedition contains at least eight cards; an expedition not started scores zero.
  4. Enter the signed score for each player. After expedition three, the higher total wins.

What this scorekeeper records

The scorekeeper adds the hand values you enter; enter the signed expedition total after applying the investment multiplier and eight-card bonus.

Enter the signed expedition total after applying the investment multiplier and eight-card bonus.

Scoring example

An expedition totals 35 in card values with one investment and eight cards: (35 − 20) × 2 + 20 = 50.

Variant notes

  • Each player has one score row. Score each expedition as the sum of its card values minus 20; each investment multiplies that result by one plus the number of investments.
  • An expedition with at least eight cards receives an additional 20 points. An expedition not started scores zero.
  • Play exactly three hands/expeditions; highest combined score wins. Enter signed expedition totals because an expedition can score below zero.
