Highly recommended for those seeking a captivating journey through aviation history right at their tabletop! Review: As a boardgamer, this was a great addition to my collection. I have logged 10+ plays of First in Flight. It is a light but exciting game. The blend of mechanics are excellent and I haven't seen a boardgame put those same mechanics together. Strategic deck building, push your luck, worker placement, and action selection all rolled up into one beautifully themed game. The theme is a great slice of history on the creation of the first airplanes. While push your luck isn't always my favorite mechanism, there is enough mitigation with cards that you can purchase that can ease the 'busting' of your flight action. There are really good competitive elements that make this more player interactive as well. The rules over head is super low and makes it easy to learn. I recommend this game for all beginners to advanced boardgamers. This was a great bang for your buck underappreciated game. The history of all the pilots you get in the game at the end of the rule book is a touch of history that brings some fun elements to the era as well. ## Features - FAST-PACED AVIATION BOARD GAME: A dynamic historical aviation game where players assume the roles of pioneers vying for heavier-than-air flight.
