Every discard matters. Every SHOW is a risk. Can you outsmart everyone and SHOW FIRST? Show First is a competitive strategy card game where every discard matters. Build the lowest hand, read your opponents, and call SHOW at the perfect moment — before someone else does. Simple to learn. Incredibly hard to master. HOW TO PLAY: - Each turn discard one card — or a valid set or sequence - Pick a smarter card from the deck or discard pile - Build the lowest hand before anyone else - Call SHOW when you're ready to win - Wrong SHOW costs you +30 points — so timing is everything - First player to reach 200 points is eliminated - Last player standing wins the match THE SHOW MOMENT: This is what makes Show First unique.
