Faraway

Welcome to the mesmerizing realm of Faraway, where adventure awaits at every twist and turn! In this ever-shifting continent of Alula, maps are rendered obsolete as the land reshapes itself in a dance of mystery and discovery. To master this enigmatic world, you'll embark on a thrilling journey, crafting your own atlas through repeated exploration.

Picture this: you, a daring explorer, traversing the dynamic landscapes of Alula, meeting its intriguing inhabitants, and striving to outshine your rivals in the pursuit of Fame. Faraway invites you to immerse yourself in a game that blends strategy, exploration, and cunning.

The core of the game lies in the row of 8 cards you'll strategically play in front of you, unfolding the narrative of your journey from left to right. These cards represent the diverse Regions you'll encounter during your exploration. Each character depicted on these cards becomes a key to accumulating Fame, but here's the twist – you'll need to fulfill their unique conditions to claim your well-deserved rewards.

As the game unfolds, you'll find yourself making tactical decisions, blocking your opponent from points, and facing tough choices that will shape your score. But the excitement doesn't end there. At the game's conclusion, you'll retrace your steps, walking back through the landscapes you've explored, scoring cards in the opposite order you played them. It's a strategic dance of wits and memory that adds a dynamic layer to the competition.

Are you unsure of whether you will enjoy Faraway? Here are three similar games to help you find out.
