First Contact
Aliens arrive and attempt to communicate with ancient Egyptians through drawn symbols. Players take turns as the alien, drawing strange glyphs to convey which earthly items they want, while the others interpret those clues to identify the objects. Aliens race to be the first to collect requested souvenirs and return home, and human players score points for correctly deducing meanings and building a consistent vocabulary. The game centers on associative deduction and evolving symbol-meaning relationships across multiple rounds.

Mochilo9.8 Siendo que hay muchos juegos con este mismo concepto, en este caso se envuelve con una temática que le va perfecta. El juego es un poco raro de entender inicialmente pero, esto se soluciona después de un turno. Muy recomendado como party.
Josu Txasko8.0 ¡Una sorpresa de juego! A veces hay que entrar en los juegos de manera más abierta para conseguir sorpresas. Sin duda un buen juego.
