But here's the twist: you score your cards in reverse order of how you played them, creating a fascinating puzzle of long-term planning and tactical adaptation. It's more than just a card game; it's a journey of exploration, a test of foresight, and a must-have for those who love strategic card play with a unique and engaging theme. This is a great choice for those who want a fun, challenging, and rewarding game that combines card drafting, set collection, and a unique scoring mechanism.

Gameplay: A Journey Forward, Scored in Reverse

"Faraway: Frontiers of Wonder" offers a unique and engaging gameplay experience centered around card drafting, tableau building, and a clever reverse-scoring mechanic.

1. The Journey: Players take on the roles of explorers, venturing across the continent of Alula.
2. Card Drafting: Each turn, players choose from a "river" of face-up cards. A clever priority system determines the order in which players choose, adding a layer of player interaction. Being last to pick leaves you with fewer options.
3. Building Your Tableau: You play cards in a row in front of you, from left to right. This row represents your journey through Alula. Each card depicts a character with specific scoring conditions.
4. Meeting Demands: The characters on your cards will grant you victory points (fame) if you can fulfill their conditions later in the game. This is the core challenge: you need to plan ahead, anticipating which cards you'll play after the current one.
5. Reverse Scoring: At the end of the game, you score your cards in reverse order, from right to left. This means the first card you played is scored last, and the last card you played is scored first. This is the defining feature of Faraway, forcing you to think strategically about the order in which you play your cards.
6. Winning: The player with the most fame (victory points) after scoring all their cards wins.
