Farsight

In a grim future, powerful military corporations fight over the last resources the earth has left. In Farsight you step right into that struggle and take command of your own troops. The battlefield lies ready before you, but nothing is what it seems. Each turn you place your units face down on the board. Only when the enemy spies on them, or when it comes to a fight, do they reveal themselves. On a separate shadow map you hide specialists who interrogate the opponent, sabotage their plans and push the game your way. The result is a game full of surprises, in which you never know exactly what your opponent is planning. Along the way all sorts of things change: the weather turns, deadly diseases break out and you constantly have to adjust your plan. The first player to conquer 8 of the 12 territories, or to take the 3 territories right under the opponent's nose, wins. Farsight was developed over eight years to bring deep wargaming to the table in a way that runs smoothly and plays well.
