About the game
Hey everyone! Get ready for a divine showdown in 'Gods Eat First,' where Norse, Greek, and Shinto deities are locked in an all-out brawl to see who can gobble up the most offerings from mortals. After all, being a god is cool, but having a full belly is even better, right? And for that, they need followers, lots of followers, to fill their divine stomachs with the sweetest and tastiest offerings. That's why they've decided to settle things with a good old street fight... or rather, a pantheon brawl!

In this game, the fun unfolds over three intense rounds. In each round, players play a card, but pay close attention to the color of the starting player's card – you'll have to follow suit, like a divine game of trick-taking! The winner of each round gets the privilege of choosing which 'faith' will be the focus of the next, adding a very interesting strategic layer. And the grand prize? Whoever takes home the last round gets all the offerings! It's a race to keep your followers loyal and ensure your gods don't starve, while others watch their devotees' faith dwindle. Ready to show who's the hungriest and most popular god around?
