Farplace The Game is designed by the CEO of Farplace Animal Rescue, an avid board gamer, and 100% of the profits will support animal rescue via Farplace.
Animal rescuers gather objects and actions to rescue and release animals in need. Each animal needs a different combination of cards to secure a positive rescue or release, with others unable to be released scoring negative points. Each player has slightly different rules depending on their Meeple. Vet cards throw a random element in typical of what is faced in animal rescue.
In addition, there are a range of map type score tracks your Meeple moves along, with bonus points to be picked up.
The game is asymmetrical in 2 ways - when each player rehomes their own animal type, they receive a different bonus. Also, each animal player type moves differently:
- The dog player can take a shortcut through a dog agility tunnel
- The cat player can hop between adjacent cardboard boxes at no movement cost
- The rabbit player can move diagonally between obstacles as well as orthogonally
- The pigeon player can fly directly over and land on obstacles and fly over water
