[1] In the US, it has been marketed as Lost Cities: The Board Game, though there are some subtle rules differences.

Each turn, a card is played which advances the player's token along a stone path.

Each card played improves a player's score, and when at least 4 cards of one color have been played, positive points are scored for that path.

Extra points are gained by collecting stones or landing on bonus squares during the game.

The game ends either when five of the players' tokens have entered the "goal area" consisting of the last three ranks on the board, or when the deck runs out.
