Product Description

For the past century, astronomers have been searching for a distant planet to explain unique orbits in the solar system. Designed by Ben Rosset and Matthew O’Malley and featuring art by Michael Pedro and James Masino, 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. 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. As Richard Ham of Rahdo Runs Through described the game: “The Search for Planet X achieves everything it sets out to do so beautifully and creates a really fun experience. ” The Search for Planet X captures the thrill of discovery, the puzzly-nature of astronomical investigation, and the competition inherent in the scientific process. Do you have what it takes to find Planet X? The Search for Planet X is created for 1-4 astronomers, ages 13+, to investigate the edges of the solar system in 60-75 minutes.

    One of my favorite games that I picked up last year. If you like games like Cryptid or deductive reasoning games, this is absolutely a must buy.

    It’s app-driven which makes this infinitely replayable and it enables an AI opponent which is very challenging but fair. It plays and acts just like a human player would and like a human you can deduce that it’s getting close to finding Planet X by the thing it’s doing.

    In “The Search for Planet X” each player takes on the role of a scientist searching for Planet X. Everyone has a player screen to hide their information. They all have a sheet of paper that comes with the game. Everyone sits on a different side of the board which represents seasons. Depending on which season you are sitting will depend on what starting information, if any, the app gives you. Everyone will start with a few clues and they’ll all have different information from the other players. You then take certain actions on your turn to find different objects in the night sky, comets, gas clouds, asteroids, etc. You will do research via the app on the relationship of certain objects to eachother and every game these are varied and fresh. There are all summits or conferences that will give everyone the same clue at the same time.
    You need to pay attention and take notes of what the other players are doing on each turn also as this will give you some information as to what they know.
    Overall this game is very enjoyable and never plays out the same way twice. It’s also easily accessible via Zoom or other comparable video chat program. I highly recommend to fans of Cryptid or deduction style games.

    I’m a really fan of both strategy games and space, and this game gives both. The gameplay is not easy but when you get settled with the rules and the logic, it gets easier and the game knows it as it have multiple different levels of difficulty and paired with the app, each game is different from another. The attention to details is also amazing, for example the observatories are all based on real life and each of the covers have the location of the telescope and some information about it. I really loved this game and if you like strategy games and/or space you should definitely buy it.

    "The Search for Planet X" board game is a celestial gem that keeps on giving! With every game session, the deduction mechanics keep you engaged and coming back for more as you strive to unravel the mystery of Planet X's location in our cosmic neighborhood.

    The quality is decent and I thought the price was good. Nothing was missing when it arrived. We were able to start playing right away!

    This game also offers a delightful challenge as you gather data, make educated guesses, and outwit your fellow astrophysicists in a quest for cosmic discovery.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Game was purchased as a gift, arrived in excellent condition. After participating in a three-player game I can say that the game is fairly easy to learn, has replayability, and is fun if you enjoy games like Clue. I anticipate that with additional playthroughs the gameplay will get faster, but expect the game to go a little slow if there is anyone learning as they play. Between the required app allowing variability each playthrough, and there being an advanced play mode as well, I expect this game to be featured in many future game nights of three or four players. Only downside to this game worth noting is that there must be a player who has the game app downloaded since the app is essential for gameplay. Highly recommend for small-group board game nights, especially if anyone is a fan of space-themed games or space in general.

    This is a great deduction and strategy game, it also has a lot of replayability since you can make it harder or easier depending on how long you want the game to last. You can have a 20 minutes match in the easy mode or a 1hr game in harder configuration.
    It works with an app that you need to download but it’s also very well design and works perfectly.
    It’s for 4 players but it works very well with only 2, which we love since sometimes it’s just me and my partner.
    The main goal is to find Planet X, but to do that you need to figure out where are the other objects such as gas clouds, asteroids, comets, etc. and in each game there are different rules that apply of where they might be position in the map.
    This game is not very interactive with other players, is more of you trying to figure out as fast as you can, but you do feel the pressure every time someone takes a turn and you don’t know if they are ahead of you or if they figure out something important.
    At the end they might be more than one player that find where Planet X is on the same turn, and there are point that add up at the end if you where first or manage to find more of the other objects in the map.
    I fully recommend it, it was a great addition to my collection and it hits the table more often than not.

    El juego requiere de una App gratuita en la que múltiples dispositivos pueden conectarse mediante un código de sala o utilizando todos el mismo dispositivo. Pará el juego en solitario el nivel de la IA deduce aproximadamente en 6 turnos la ubicación del planeta X pero esto es bastante equilibrado ya que si juegas bien tus turnos y realizas las deducciones de manera adecuada puedes ganarle con las teorías si aun no tienes idea de la posición del planeta X.

    Los componentes son de muy buena calidad y si quieres ser aún más tecnológico se puede utilizar una tablet para realizar las anotaciones y no gastar en papel.

    Muy recomendado, juego competitivo, sencillo de entender y con mucha jugabilidad.
