First in Flight

The definitive edition of the high-stakes aviation strategy game is here, featuring historical aircraft and a tense "push-your-luck" flight mechanic for the ultimate "Golden Age of Flight" experience.

First in Flight puts you in the cockpit alongside legendary pioneers like the Wright Brothers and Bessie Coleman. In this race to break world records, you’ll spend your time in the workshop upgrading your flyer and refining your deck. The heart of the game lies in the flight attempts: you’ll draw cards from your flight deck one by one to gain distance, but you must decide when to land before a mechanical "Flaw" sends you crashing back to earth. This edition focuses on tactical risk management, challenging you to balance the desire for glory with the reality of early 20th-century engineering.

Beyond the exhilarating flights, this version features a beautiful sprawling board and a deck-building system that rewards long-term planning. You’ll visit different locations to gain skills, hire specialized crew, and research new technologies to mitigate your flyer's weaknesses. With its mix of historical flavor and nail-biting card reveals, every flight attempt feels like a true gamble for a place in the history books.
