Welcome to Fun with Boxes, Episode 70: Faraway, designed by Johannes Goupy and Corentin Lebrat and with wonderful art by Maxime Morin and published by Catch Up Games.
Faraway is a card game for 2 to 6 players that plays in around 25 minutes or less.
Beyond the sea of Mists lies Alula, a mysterious continent with ever-changing geography, shaped by the rhythm of the seasons.
Travel across its lands in search of its secrets, meet its inhabitants and list its wonders in order to gain more fame than your opponents.
During a game of Faraway, 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 whilst exploring the lands. The Characters on these cards will grant you victory points if you later fulfil the conditions they demand.
And here is the big twist - after laying your 8th card it is the end of the game and you will walk back through the cards you have played from right to left, scoring them in the opposite order you played them.
And this is the core of the gameplay.
As the box states - plan your travels ahead, for at the end of the game, you will count your points by backtracking from the last card played to the first.

At 8:05 you start a (simple) scoring example. One important omission is made here. Fame (VP) is calculated with your face up Region cards and all of your Sanctuaries. But you do not explain the scoring with sanctuary cards in play, while those are very helpful in scoring Fame.. So if you had at least 1 Sanctuary card showing a mineral (Uddu Stone) when turning over the last played card, that card would have scored 2 Fame.
