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.
