First Giants

Game details

Dinosaurs, flying reptiles, and giant mammals, create the most prestigious exhibition!

In First Giants, players take on the role of paleontologists collecting the most beautiful fossils to display at their museum.

Choose which specimens to study and use their unique abilities before adding them to your collection.

Also, you must carefully decide when to exhibit your fossils since you will no longer benefit from their effects once on display. But wait too long, and you may miss out on the opportunity to score points!

First Giants is an Engine Unbuilding game with simple rules for 2 to 5 players, where players compete as paleontologists to create the most prestigious prehistoric exhibition.

“Some discoveries remain under study.
Others enter History.“

Players build their engine by collecting fossils with powerful effects… and must decide when to display them to score points — knowing that once exhibited, those effects are permanently lost.

A constant dilemma: push their engine further… or sacrifice it at the perfect moment.

The end of the game is triggered when a player takes the last Set token from the supply or when the deck is empty after a player refills a Dig Site. Take all remaining Set tokens from the box and add them to the supply. Play continues until all players have had an equal number of turns, at which point the game ends; then add up your scores.
