About the game

What you do in a play session

In the near future, the space race is fiercer than ever! In Farlight, you lead a space corporation competing for resources, technology, and territories in the solar system. The game blends blind auctions, dice rolling, and strategic tile placement in a space battle full of twists. Each round, you'll bid for ship modules, assemble your fleet, and attempt increasingly challenging missions. But watch out: your opponents are eyeing the same objectives, and a wrong bid could leave your ship stranded mid-flight! With tight mechanics and an immersive space theme, Farlight is perfect for those who enjoy games with strategy and a dash of luck. The gameplay is quick (around 45 minutes) but intense - like a rocket launch!
