Far Away — Cherry Picked Games Far Away - A two-player cooperative board game about discovery, survival, and the crushing loneliness of being the only two humans for lightyears.

Far Away is our best selling title. It's a two-player cooperative game about exploring alien worlds. It features an ecosystem driven by some light roleplaying, leading to unique, emergent wildlife. Possibly the most love-or-hate mechanic out there.
