Description
On the edge of our solar system, a dark planet may be lurking. In 2015, astronomers estimated that a large, distant planet could explain the unique orbits of dwarf planets and other objects. Since then, astronomers have been scouring the sky in hopes of finding such a planet.
In The Search for Planet X, players take on the role of astronomers using observations and logical deductions to search for this hypothetical planet. In each game, the companion app randomly selects an arrangement of objects and a location for Planet X, following predefined logical rules.
Each round, as the Earth orbits the Sun, players use the app to perform scans and participate in conferences. As they learn information about the location of objects, they mark that information on their deduction sheets. As players learn the location of various objects, they can start posting theories, which is how they score points.
As more and more objects are found, players narrow down the possible locations of Planet X. When a player believes they know its location and the objects on either side of it, they use the app to perform a search. The game ends when one player successfully locates Planet X, and all players have one final chance to score some additional points.
The Search for Planet X captures the thrill of discovery, the enigmatic nature of astronomical research, and the competition inherent in the scientific process. Can you be the first to find Planet X?
