On this journey to faraway lands, the return ticket is included in the price. For eight cards, we travel from left to right through imaginative landscapes, encountering creatures who promise victory points for collecting certain symbols or regions. The twist: scoring happens in reverse — the last card of the journey is the first to score points, and only the cards revealed so far on the return trip count toward the next scoring. A bit of luck in drawing the right cards for this reverse planning completes this extraordinary trip. One thing is certain: on the next trip, we’ll plan the crucial trip home much better in our minds.
Jury statement:
In „Faraway“, everything feels simple and logical. But we quickly realize that the reverse scoring is trickier than expected.
„Faraway“ impresses with its elegance and focus on the essentials. Its unusual structure compels us to think in new ways.
