Description

First Snow is a thrilling board game that drops you into the harsh, beautiful world of the Arctic, where you'll navigate the challenges of winter as an Inuit hunter. With a playtime of just 40 to 50 minutes, this game is perfect for a quick, intense gaming session with a friend, as it's designed for 2 players. The rules are straightforward, making it easy for anyone familiar with board games to pick up, and the game's normal complexity level ensures that you'll be engaged and challenged throughout. As you build a new landscape each round using the modular board, you'll need to strategically place your camps, manage resources, and outmaneuver your opponent, all while avoiding the looming threat of a polar bear. The game's innovative worker placement mechanism, combined with secret unit deployment and resource management, adds a layer of bluffing and strategy to each round. With its unique mechanics and immersive theme, First Snow is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and its accolades, including multiple first-place awards in the 2017 9-Card Nanogame P&P Design Contest, are a testament to its engaging gameplay and design.
