Far Away

Two players cooperate as distant explorers sent to survey and survive on randomly generated alien planets. Each mission requires repairing a crashed ship, completing objectives, and managing hunger, injuries, and mental strain while navigating unique ecosystems populated by varied creatures. Communication is limited by proximity: players can only coordinate when they are physically together on the board, so planning movement and timing is essential. Creature behavior follows simple rules but varies by planet, and players log encounters and outcomes as they explore. Success yields modest rewards; failure comes from death or breakdown before the ship is rebuilt.
