Description
At the edge of our solar system, a dark planet may lurk. In 2015, astronomers
estimated a large distant planet could explain the unique orbits of dwarf
planets and other objects. Since then, astronomers have been scanning the sky,
hoping to find this planet.
The Search for Planet X is a board game from Foxtrot Games. Players take on the
role of astronomers, using observations and logical deductions to search for
this hypothetical planet. Each game, the companion app randomly selects an
arrangement of objects and a location for Planet X following predefined logic
rules.
Each round, as the earth travels around the sun, players will use the app to
perform scans and attend conferences. As they gain information about the
location of the objects, they'll mark that information on their deduction
sheets. As players learn the locations of the various objects, they can start
publishing theories. This is the way that players score points.
As more and more objects are found, players will narrow down the possible
locations for Planet X. Once a player believes they know its location and the
objects on either side of it, they use the app to conduct a search. The game
ends when a player successfully locates Planet X, and all players have a final
chance to score some additional points.
The Search for Planet X captures the thrill of discovery, the puzzly-nature of
astronomical investigation, and the competition inherent in the scientific
process. Can you be the first to find Planet X?
