Welcome to Alula! The land in this mysterious continent regularly shifts, twists, and reforms itself, making any attempt at mapping it obsolete. The only way one can master Alula is by walking it time and time again to make one's own atlas. Travel this ever-changing world, meet its inhabitants, and gain more Fame than your competitors.

Over the course of the game you will play a row of 8 cards in front of you from left to right. These cards represent the Regions you will come across while exploring the lands. Characters on these cards will grant you Fame if you later fulfill the conditions they demand. However, at the end of the game, you walk back the way you just explored, scoring cards in the opposite order you played them. The player with the most Fame after scoring Regions and Sanctuaries wins!

Gameplay Overview
Faraway is one of the cleverest card games of recent years — a 15-30 minute brain-burner built around a single brilliant mechanism: you play 8 cards left to right over the course of the game, but score them right to left at the end. That reversal is everything. Characters on earlier cards demand conditions that can only be met by what you play later, but scoring starts with your last card and works backward, meaning the requirements you set up first are the hardest to fulfill. The result is a game that rewards looking ahead, thinking in reverse, and building a chain of cards that pays off elegantly when the journey ends. Rahdo called it "so brilliant," The Dice Tower praised the "funky scoring," and multiple reviewers have noted it produces an "a-ha!" moment that makes players immediately want to play again. Quick to learn, hard to master, and easy to bring out at any game night.
