In Lands Unknown you control a group of bold adventurers who embark on a journey into an unexplored continent. They will have to plan their advance carefully and use the terrain to their advantage if they are to best rivaling groups for control of the continent. Each turn, a player plays a land card onto one of the coastline roads already started, marks it (if necessary), then uses the power shown on that (drawing new cards, swapping hands with an opponent, moving tokens, destroying cards or tokens, and so on). At the end of the game, players score points for their explorer tokens on the roads, and the player with the most points wins.
