Watch “First in flight from @geniusgames5802 #boardgames,” a board game entertainment video for First in Flight from Board Gaymes James on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Board Gaymes James on YouTube:
First in Flight (@Genius Games) deigned by Ben Rosset (Fromage) is such a good push your luck, deck builder, worker placement!
Your score is based on beating yours and your opponents longest flight travelled, nit additive points like most games.
You do this by selecting actions around a rondel, with leapfrogging turn order (last in line goes next) that build up your deck or get rid of nasty design flaws.
Once you go on a flight its push your luck for how far you can get! Draw one card after the other, run into 4 problems and bam you crash, but don't worry even a crash counts towards your longest run.
I've played this with seasoned gamers and beginners and they both love it, dare I say its genius?

About First in Flight, from BoardGameGeek:
First in Flight is a push-your-luck, deck-building game about the race to early flight. Players take on the roles of the Wright Brothers, Samuel Langley, and other flight pioneers, racing to build and pilot the “flyers” that preceded modern airplanes.
Each player's flyer design is represented by a deck of cards that they can steadily improve and refine, and which may include unknown design flaws that threaten their success.
Flying is a blackjack-style challenge to test a design, break new records, and gain experience -- hopefully without crashing. Then, players head back to the workshop to refine their flyers and improve their chances on future flights. There are dozens of available technologies, pilot skills, and friends in the field available for players to customize their own play style and strategy.
