Why Faraway Is My #1 Light Multiplayer of 2025 (Plus 8 Fake Alula Podcasts)

Published: Mon 3rd Nov

The wondrous landscape of Alula — the setting of Faraway, a clever light strategy game from Catch Up Games that has completely taken over my Board Game Arena sessions — makes it my #1 light game of the year.

Alula also has some terrible podcasts.

In this breakout from Breakup Gaming Society Episode 102, I dig deeper into why Faraway is my favorite light multiplayer of 2025 — and share eight spoof podcast reviews from Alula's airwaves, where everyone from obnoxious sprinter van influencers collectors to two-headed locals think they have to plug in a mic and say something.

🪶 Featuring:
• Reflections on Faraway's “play forward, score backward” brilliance
• The ecological charm of Ululu's biomes and locals
• Eight fake podcast reviews from inside the Faraway universe, maybe I'd be better at this game if I didn't spend so much time riffing
