Farwire

Somewhere past the edge of the map, your explorers are waiting for word from you. You can't see what they see. You can only read their reports, and every word you send back costs. Farwire is a narrative puzzle game about leading expeditions by telegraph and radio, one message each evening. Write your own orders, watch the map fill in, and bring everyone home. HOW IT PLAYS • Each evening your explorer's report comes in: what they can see, what worries them, where the path splits. • Answer in your own words, with STOP between sentences. STOP is free; every other word counts against the expedition's budget. • Your explorer reads back what they understood before night falls. Then the night passes, and the next evening tells you how it went. • Say too little and they guess. Say too much and the words run out before they're home.
