4.0 out of 5 stars Possibly my favorite game ever!!, January 28, 2007

Okay, let's just get this out of the way first. This game lost a star because the directions are horribly written. If they would come out with a completely revised edition of the rules (and throw in a few more plastic boxes for the character pieces), it would be perfect. In the mean time, you can consult the official website for expanded instructions as well as downloadable templates to keep your characters and progress organized. That website has been an invaluable resource.

That being said, the hubby and I cannot get enough of this game!! Yes, it can be frustrating to learn, but once you get the hang of everything, you can play this game over and over and over and never have the same game twice. Also, different characters win in different ways, so your end goal can change from game to game! Sometimes the game lasts 15 minutes, sometimes 3 hours. You can control the length of the game by adjusting the board size to your taste.

This is not really a "family game night" or a quick, easy game of Sorry! or Uno. It's a pretty complex game with a lot of nuances, but WELL worth the effort!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard, but good -- like playing an episode!, December 25, 2006

Lost: The Board Game is a ton of fun, but be warned -- this game is definitely harder than your typical TV show board game. It's more of a role-playing game than a typical board game, so you'd better be ready to use your mind and imagination.

If you've played Magic The Gathering, or Settlers of Cataan, you'll have no problems with this game. If Monopoly or Risk are challenges to you, or you're looking for an easy game night, you're going to have a tough time with this one.

The good news is, once you've got the rules down, it's a ton of fun to play -- the more people, the better, by the way. The game really captures the spirit of the show, and you'll definitely feel like you were lost on an island after playing this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and engaging, if a little confusing, May 8, 2007

This review is from: LOST - The Game (Toy)

I picked up this game because I love the Lost show. To make this review short, once you figure out the instructions the game is extremely entertaining. I don't know how some people couldn't figure it out. The game does NOT take 30 minutes to set up. The official website has expanding instructions that really make the game much easier to understand. Keep in mind, this is no light and thoughtless board game like Life or Clue.
