Faraway
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!

What the press is saying
This is so brilliant and it's so fun and simple, but puzzly.
This combination of elements really comes together well for me. All of it together: the speed, the look, the simplicity, the funky scoring... I love all this mix.
For a game like this, it's very simple but it's very neat. I haven't played a game that's required me to think this way... in a 20 minute package.
This game is so clever and has a really unique backwards scoring mechanism.
If you like the next unique game that you can bring to game night... this is a good, solid 20-30 minute game.
