## Description
Hey everyone! Ever wondered what would happen if aliens landed in Ancient Egypt and tried to ask for some 'souvenirs' to go back home? Well, First Contact throws you right into this hilarious and communication-challenging situation! In this super creative party game, one team of players takes on the role of aliens, who need to collect specific Earth items for their pyramid-shaped spaceship. The problem? They can only communicate using strange symbols. On the other side, the Egyptians are trying to figure out what these 'beings from the sky' want, deciphering the alien language and helping them find the right objects. It's a race against time and confusion! The aliens compete to be the first to grab everything and 'fly home', while each Egyptian wants to be the best at learning the extraterrestrial language. Each round is a new puzzle of interpretation, with aliens drawing symbols and Egyptians trying to guess. The game is a perfect choice for those who enjoy deduction and association games, with a touch of humor that guarantees lots of laughs. With each play, new combinations of items and symbols emerge, keeping the experience fresh and challenging. Get ready for lots of intergalactic fun and confusion!
