Cherry Picked Games will be releasing a second edition of their popular science fiction exploration game Far Away later this month. In the game, players take on the roles of members of the Federation Alliance who are tasked with mapping planets while possessing a meager budget to do so. Far Away is for two players, ages 13+, plays in 90 to 150 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $45.00.
About the game:
The Far Away Program
The Federation Alliance started the Far Away program nearly 50 cycles ago to discover and explore new worlds. The missions we undertake are of vital importance to galactic prosperity. However, budget setbacks have forced us to reduce operational expenses. That’s where you, the willing explorer, can help!
Far Away is a two-player cooperative board game about discovery, survival, and the crushing loneliness of being the only two humans for lightyears.
Join the Federation Alliance, a bureaucracy with an ambitious charter of mapping new worlds and a minimalist budget. Succeed in a variety of missions on randomly generated worlds with unique ecosystems, without luxuries like radios, landing gear, and medical supplies. Trust in your partner is paramount since, without radios, you can’t communicate (in real life) after separating on the game board.
Survive, and you’ll be rewarded with a meager paycheck. Succumb to the planet, and you’ll find help is too Far Away.

★ Deeper box.
★ Darker creature sketches on the cards and tokens.
★ Revamped creature token for better visibility.
