Thousands of plants and animals have been discovered but haven’t been seen for decades and could be on the brink of extinction. In order to save these species, we must first find them again. The Search for Lost Species is a game about this real-world search. You are scientists on an expedition to find one of those lost species, focusing on those in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
The organization Re:wild has compiled a list of lost species around the world at www.rewild.org/lost-species. They engage in expeditions with numerous partners to find these Lost Species, and encourage others to conduct their own expeditions to rediscover these amazing Lost Species. In this deduction game, you’ll work to locate these lost species and put them back on the map!
Features:

Temporary 10 until I play it and give it a real review, which should be quite soon. This is mainly just to counteract the imbecilic "software, not tabletop game." review below. Hilariously, they've taken the time out of their lives to give 137 1-star reviews to app assisted games ? Grow up. There are plenty of game styles I don't enjoy, but I choose not to play them rather that claiming they aren't real games. Just go play one of the vast swathe of "real" games that meet your outmoded purity requirements. Gatekeepers are the bane of this wonderful hobby.

The same game system as The Search for Planet X. I don't know if it is different enough to own both games, but I also don't know which one I prefer. This one is probably easier to teach because the theme is more accessible.

Like the theme, and tempted to get it, but then was immediately turned off by the app/website requirement. I shouldn't have to go online to play a board game - that defeats the whole point, which is to get away from idiotphones and computers.
