Faraway Board Game

Explore the Mysterious Land of Alula

Enter the ever-changing continent of Alula in Faraway, a fast-paced strategic card game where every decision shapes both your journey and your final score. Explore mysterious regions, meet fascinating inhabitants, discover ancient sanctuaries, and build your own path through this constantly shifting world.

The clever twist in Faraway is its reverse-scoring system. During the game, you build a row of 8 Region cards from left to right, with each card creating objectives that can be fulfilled by cards played later. At the end of the game, however, you score your cards in the opposite direction—turning your earlier decisions into a strategic puzzle that rewards careful planning.
