Discover: Lands Unknown

About this board game

Discover: Lands Unknown is a survival adventure game for 1–4 players, with a listed play time of 120 minutes. Stranded in a harsh wilderness with no memory of how you arrived, you must find the resources needed to stay alive.

Each game challenges players to search for water, food, and tools while exploring an environment filled with secrets. You may work with the other stranded survivors, compete with them, or make difficult choices about whether to help others or save yourself.

What makes Discover: Lands Unknown stand out is that every copy is different. An algorithm determines the combination of components in each copy, creating a unique mix of environments, storylines, characters, locations, items, and enemies.

• Explore a wilderness assembled from a varied shared pool of components.
• Search for essential survival resources, including food, water, and tools.
• Encounter different locations, items, characters, and enemies.
• Experience scenarios that can encourage cooperation or turn players against one another.

The game generally encourages players to cooperate, at least to some degree, but its scenarios can introduce direct conflict between survivors. This shifting relationship between players gives each adventure a distinctive social challenge alongside the struggle to survive.

For groups seeking a fully cooperative experience, Fantasy Flight Games offers a co-op rules download that alters selected events. With its procedurally assembled contents and uncertain alliances, Discover: Lands Unknown offers a survival story that is specific to your copy of the game.
