On an uninhabited island lost in the heart of unknown seas, a group of explorers discovered traces of a glorious civilization. It's time for you to lead an expedition and traverse this island, find lost artifacts, and confront its formidable guardians, in order to understand and reveal the island's secrets.

The Lost Ruins of Narak is an IELLO EXPERT game in which players must try to score more points than their opponents by exploring the remains of a forgotten civilization. The game's strength lies in its incredible richness, as it combines several particularly addictive game mechanics and brings them together in an intense and demanding game.

Deckbuilding, exploration, worker placement, and resource management are logically combined here, allowing players complete and intuitive immersion. The game mechanics serve the theme, and the theme is particularly present throughout the game.
Multiple possibilities

On their turn, players can perform multiple actions, conditioned by their hand of cards: exploring the island, excavating explored areas, buying objects or artifacts, fighting enemies, calling on assistants, and also pursuing the ultimate quest: locating the Lost Temple.

The game takes place on a large double-sided game board (for an even more challenging advanced version) and invites players to perform their actions according to their resources, giving them great freedom of management. Unlike most deckbuilding games, acquired cards are placed directly under the draw pile to control their flow, and artifacts can be activated upon purchase for immediate and spectacular effects.

All actions are likely to earn victory points, but the search for the Lost Temple will be particularly rich in prestige for the most audacious.

A 100% Expert game

With its increasing tension and the density of available actions, each player can follow their own strategy to accumulate prestige points. It will of course be possible to banish weaker cards as the game progresses to create impressive combinations likely to turn the tide of the game in the final turns.

Incredibly rich in possibilities and impressively fluid, The Lost Ruins of Narak is a new benchmark for Expert games: generous components, perfectly exploited theme, high game density, multiple strategic possibilities, solo variant, and a wide learning curve.
