The Search for Planet X is a logical deduction board game that puts players in the role of astronomers competing to locate a mysterious planet at the edge of our Solar System. The game is based on a real scientific hypothesis about the existence of a ninth planet, proposed to explain the unusual orbits of certain celestial objects.
Players become space researchers who collect data through observations, logical rules, and scientific conferences, gathering information about celestial objects such as asteroids, comets, and empty sectors. The goal is to use this information to correctly determine the location of Planet X—a hidden object lurking somewhere among the stars.
Players rely on clues provided by a companion app to eliminate possibilities and deduce where Planet X is located. Each player has their own personal player board to record discoveries, creating a tense competitive atmosphere. Players may publish theories about the locations of other celestial bodies, earning points and gaining additional information in return. A free companion app handles random setup and rule enforcement, increasing replayability while streamlining gameplay.
The game demands careful logical reasoning, data analysis, and strategic planning.
🔭 Prepare your telescope, collect the data—and uncover the mysteries of the universe.
