by April 21, 2008 @ 12:45 pm

This coming Wednesday will see the arrival of Lost Cities on the Xbox 360’s Xbox Live Arcade download service, Microsoft announced today. A carbon copy of Reiner Knizia’s original card game, the digital version of Lost Cities features high-definition visuals presented in 720p and support for up to four players simultaneously over Live.
True to the original adventurous card game, “Lost Cities” transports players to exotic destinations where riveting adventures await. Before players embark on their trips they must choose how much to invest in the expedition in hopes of increasing their investment. Players then play their cards with the goal of amassing the most points and making prosperous expeditions through the various lost cities: the Himalayas, the Brazilian rain forest, the ever-shifting desert sands, ancient volcanoes and the mystifying depths of the oceans.
Developed by Sierra Online, Lost Cities will carry the standard price point of 800 Microsoft Points, or $10.
