The far future. The First Space Republic gathers an expedition to colonize the Andromeda galaxy. With representatives of all races, the intergalactic ship Ark sets out to explore new planets. In the game Fly Further players will have to colonize different planets. Each has its conditions for victory points. Discovering a new planet, players will secretly decide - to build a colony or a mine on it or to fly further to restore their energy. All 18 races of colonists have their special abilities, and the more effectively you use them, the more chances you have to win!
Fly Further supports 3–6 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 Fly Further is 30–45 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 Fly Further for ages 8 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.
Fly Further has a complexity rating of 2.0 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.
