About the game
Faza is a cooperative science fiction board game for 1-4 players navigating a post-apocalyptic city. In order to save your city from the Faza, your extraterrestrial occupiers, your team will need to destroy their three motherships. Your team, called Faction Zeta, has eight characters, possessing different skills within one of four areas of focus: tactical, medical, technological, and political. Faction Zeta will utilize the unique skills of each member to fight for final victory over the Faza. As you move across the board, you will be combating enemy drones and recruiting Rebel Faza to attack each mothership. Naturally, over the course of the game, the Faza will be fighting back: dropping off more troops in attempts to overwhelm you, transforming the entire city to only be habitable to their kind, killing off the traitorous Rebel Faza to prevent you from attacking their motherships, and of course trying to kill you. Note: Solo mode would require someone to control 2 characters in the game. —description from the designer

Questions and answers
Faza supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Faza is 90–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Faza for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Faza has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
