How to be a Helpful Playtester

We’re hard at work testing all the missions in Far Away: Corporate Espionage.

2022 Progress Update

Hello Cherry Picked Fans,

The Hair of the Dog print-and-play just received a major rules update. We reworked the pet conditions mechanic to be simpler and encourage more player communication. If you haven’t tried Hair of the Dog yet, go do it! Tell us what you think and we’ll donate funds to the Humane Society. If you want to read about the design changes, then continue reading. Don’t let us stop you.
