Four wanderers search for the Last Ruin, a city that legends say contains an artifact that will grant the greatest desires of the heart. A lost love, redemption, acceptance, a family rejoined-- these are the fires that fuel the wanderers' journeys, but can they overcome their own greed and inner demons on the way?

In Near and Far, you and up to three friends explore many different maps in a search for the Last Ruin, recruiting adventurers, hunting for treasure, and competing to be the most storied traveler. You must collect food and equipment at town for long journeys to mysterious locales, making sure not to forget enough weapons to fight off bandits, living statues, and rusty robots! Sometimes in your travels you'll run into something unique and one of your friends will read what happens to you from a book of stories, giving you a choice of how to react, creating a new and memorable tale each time you play.

Near and Far is a sequel to Above and Below and includes a book of encounters. This time players read over ten game sessions to reach the end of the story. Each chapter is played on a completely new map with unique art and adventures.

Answer the call of the ruins and begin your journey.

Near greatness

Near and far has many different modules where depending how interested you are in playing a role playing campaign game will alter your experience. This being said, we do not play with any campaign activities but are still having a blast due to the strong core play. I wouldn’t pass this one up!

It's really good, but there's one thing...

This game is a great level of fun and complexity, and the combination of the simple worker placement (near/in town) and the exploration (far) is very fulfilling. It really is a well designed all around great game. The only thing that bugged me after a few games was that a big selling point of the game (the stories) are very, very random in nature. There doesn't seem to be any big significance to them. The group that I play with now just ignores the stories. So if you're looking for a game with a great over-arching cohesive story and not random little things here and there, get something like clank legacy.

One of my favorite game

This is such a great game, lots of fun mechanisms and a campaign mode that you can replay a couple times at least and still discover new stuff and stories. The expansion definitely adds some interesting features and I don't think I would ever play without it after trying it, it also makes a couple of actions from the base game a lot more interesting and enhance the overall gameplay.
