7 itemsAbout the Game

THE FIRST MILLION takes the endlessly satisfying feeling of making numbers go up from idle games and fuses it with the strategic depth and replayability of roguelike deckbuilders.

As they say, THE FIRST MILLION is the hardest — you cannot win this game on the first try. But you will get closer with every try as you constantly unlock new cards and upgrades and discover one game-breaking strategy after another.

THE FIRST MILLION keeps you thinking outside the box and playing the game in different ways with dozens of diverse challenges, which you will need to complete to unlock the best cards and upgrades.
If you're familiar with deckbuilders, you might beat the first difficulty level in a couple of hours. To complete all difficulties and challenges, you will need at least 15-20 hours. And you can endlessly enjoy a daily mode where you compete with other players to see who can make the most money with a fixed set of cards every day.
