First Class: Call for Tenders

About this expansion

First Class: Call for Tenders is a 2017 game for 2–4 players with an approximate playing time of 60 minutes, centered on one-time tender bonuses and competing requirements.

Each player has access to two markers, while the game includes six tender tokens. Every tender token presents two different requirements. A player who fulfills either requirement can claim the reward shown on that token.

Timing matters when several players are pursuing the same tender. The first player to meet a token’s requirement receives an additional bonus. Afterward, the token is flipped, allowing the remaining players to receive a lesser reward when they fulfill one of its requirements.

• Six tender tokens
• Two markers for each player
• Two different requirements on every token
• One-time bonuses with a stronger reward for the first player
• Lowest-numbered tender removed at the end of each round

Because tenders are available only once per player, deciding when to pursue a requirement is important. Players must weigh the opportunity to secure the first reward against the possibility of waiting while the token remains available to others.

At the end of each round, the lowest-numbered tender is removed from the game. This steadily reduces the available opportunities and gives the tender system a clear sense of urgency as play continues.

Included in the Deutscher Spielepreis 2017 Goodie Box, First Class: Call for Tenders offers a focused set of bonus objectives built around requirements, changing rewards, and tokens that can disappear from play.
