Far Away is an exciting two - player cooperative board game. It immerses you in a world of discovery, survival, and the profound loneliness of being the only humans across light - years. Join the Federation Alliance, a bureaucratic group with big plans to map new worlds on a tight budget. Take on various missions on randomly generated planets with unique ecosystems, all while lacking basic supplies like radios, landing gear, and medical kits. Since there are no radios, trust in your partner is crucial once you split on the game board. Survive the challenges, and you'll get a small reward. Fail, and help is out of reach. Key features include: two - player cooperative gameplay ideal for couples or gaming duos seeking a deep - dive experience; a unique communication system that promotes cooperation and reduces over - commanding; over 800 cards and pieces; eight different, branching missions for high replayability; more than 30 beautifully - drawn alien creatures that can either help or hinder you; and completing missions and sub - missions gives bonuses and new challenges in future games. It's for 2 players, takes 90 - 150 minutes to play, and is suitable for ages 13 and up.
To start playing Far Away, first, set up the game board and distribute the over 800 cards and pieces as described in the rulebook. Each player then joins the Federation Alliance and gets ready for their missions. When starting a mission, randomly generate a world with a unique ecosystem. Remember, you don't have radios, so once you and your partner separate on the game board, you can't communicate in real - life. Rely on your trust in each other to succeed. Try to complete the eight distinct, branching missions and sub - missions to earn bonuses for future games. The more than 30 alien creatures on the board can either help or hinder you, so be prepared for surprises. As for play time, plan for 90 - 150 minutes. This game is for players aged 13 and up. After playing, keep all the cards and pieces organized in the box to avoid losing anything. And have fun exploring the unknown with your partner!
