Renegade Games Give Select Fans & Stores 3 Month Early Release Access to The Search for Lost Species!

Follow up to the award winning and critically acclaimed Search for Planet X

San Diego, CA (January 30, 2023) — Renegade Game Studios will launch the Search for Lost Species 3 months early in participating retail stores and to a limited number of fans. Stores can back the game on Kickstarter starting January 31^st and can expect to receive games in May of 2023. The full release and retail distribution will be in August and coincide with a public Gen Con launch. 

“When we launched the Search for Planet X it was a smash hit and we couldn’t print it fast enough” said Scott Gaeta, president at Renegade Games “It took us a full year and seven print runs to finally catch up with demand. Stores were understandably frustrated. This program is to give stores the opportunity to be a part of the launch in a special and very early way.”

The Search for Lost Species gameplay isn't just more of the same.

Here's some of the new challenges players will take on!

• Six different Lost Species to look for - Each has its own logic rules and will present a unique challenge!
• Explore two different island maps, introducing a spatial aspect to the deduction!
• Town Cards - Each provides a power or ability that will aid in your search!
• Three different terrain types provide an additional layer of logic and relationships!
• From the same design team as The Search for Planet X, Ben Rosset & Matthew O’Malley.

The Search for Lost Species was made using eco-friendly materials!

• No plastic in the components or packaging.
• The latest in sustainable premium cardstock using sugarcane rather than traditional lumber, which takes longer to renew.
• Produced by a factory with eco-friendly practices such as solar power and grey-water recycling in their manufacturing process.
