Dinosaurs, flying reptiles, and giant mammals. Create the most prestigious exhibition! You will become paleontologists and collect the most beautiful fossils to display them in your museum. Choose which specimens you will study and use their exclusive abilities before adding them to your exhibition. Decide carefully when you will exhibit your fossils, because once they are in the exhibition, you will no longer be able to benefit from their effects. But don’t wait too long either: if you do, you might lose the opportunity to score points.

This is how we are presented with First Giants, a design by Matthew Dunstan and Brett J. Gilbert, the minds behind Elysium, of which this game is a reimplementation. First published in 2026 by Space Cowboys in an English and French edition. The illustrations are done by Maud Chalmel (Take Time, Shamans) and Jessica Cognard (her debut work in the board game world).
It is published in Spain by Asmodee (the game is completely language-independent, except for the rulebook). It allows for games of 2 to 5 players, with a suggested minimum age of 10, and an approximate duration of 30 minutes. The suggested retail price is €29.95. For this review, we have used a copy of the Spanish edition by Asmodee, which the publisher has kindly provided us as a review copy.
