Community Snapshot
Rated 0.0 by the community, The First War brings hexagon grid to 2 players in about ~120 min.
How It Plays
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Tech Trees / Tech Tracks
You unlock new abilities or upgrades along a branching tech tree — each path opens up different strategies.
About This Game
An empire-building game for 2 players in which they utilize discovered terrain, four types of pieces and technology cards to their utmost efficiencies. Conflict is entirely deterministic, depending on position and availability of forces, but technology, terrain and reinforcements are determined by varying levels of randomness. In particular, players have some control over which technologies they decide to pursue and some control over the types of reinforcements that appear.
