Description

Stronger, better, faster! But wait: In order to win you have to be second! In Why First?, the players race each other by playing cards either in front of themselves or each other in order to move forwards or backwards but it gets trickier when you do not want to be the first. This fast-paced game involves everyone at the same time and includes a more tactical variant for experienced silver medalists.
